Artist bio:

Freeman, David

Born in Calcutta, India in 1961 and moved to Britain in 1978.

From 1981 he studied at Ealing College and on graduating set up his own studio in London.

Eventually he came full circle to return to that which had always been his favorite occupation, painting the human figure in oils.

The treatment of his subjects shows a deep understanding of the classical tradition. His interplay of light and darkness is a modern version of Rembrant's chiaroscuro. His figures and faces have a luminescence found in the works of the late Italian renaissance. The skin tones that he paints are as iridescent as those of Tintoretto.

The detail with which he paints highlights the icon like appearance of his figures. They are perfection s in themselves, blended into his myriad of backgrounds as if frozen in time. His colors, deeply sumptuous, with his frequent use of gold leaf are derived from the Byzantine tradition of decoration. See less
