ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK



Most of David Kim Whittaker’s paintings are based upon a metaphysical interpretation of the human head. These portrait, portals, are often ambiguous, with the aim of representing the totality of the human condition - both the universal and the empathetic alongside personal experience. The works often juggle dual states of inner and outer calm and conflict, offering a glimpse of simultaneous strength and fragility, conscious and subconscious, masculine and feminine. The paintings express Whittaker’s constant focus on an attempt to express something far greater than oneself. Recent works depict the artists deep sensitivity and increasing unease when confronted with the compounding global tensions of this particlar moment. A dual reflection of hope and warning stares back at us from the frame.

Whittaker is a British artist born in Cornwall where he still resides. Exhibitions have been held internationally, notably including a major solo exhibition at the prestigious Fondazione Mudima in Milan in 2017. Works are in numerous museum collections, art foundations and international private collections. Whittaker was further acknowledged in 2011 as the recipient of the Towry Award (First Prize) at the National Open Art Competition.
