20 Miles – an Exhibition by David Parfitt

Until 26th September / Black Swan Arts
20 Market Place . Frome Somerset . BA11 1AN
Somerset landscape artist David A. Parfitt is showing a series of paintings and prints which reflect on our connections with nature, place and home. The exhibition shows a mixture of dramatic, sometimes almost abstract, watercolours and striking monochromatic monoprints, created in David’s studio during the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021. His work focusses on the trees, wetlands and woods of Somerset, and explore the tension between the restrictions that have been placed on all of us over the past year and the desire to get out into the natural world.

By staying close to home, David rediscovered places on his daily walks around his village, making new connections and creating new memories. Conversely, he also longed for his regular autumn and winter walks around the Mendip hills and Somerset wetlands. David’s paintings are representational, but his intention is ‘to make things that have a sense of place without looking overly contrived or deliberate’. His method involves working quickly, drawing seemingly haphazard marks with a brush and combining these with loose washes without getting over-involved in detail. 6
