David's Style
Now working and living in Wales, David takes inspiration from his surrounding landscapes. His work focuses on composition and arrangement of colour in a subtle, reductive and minimal way that draws inspiration from the natural landscape and organic forms.
Married to fellow Partnership Editions artist, Lisa Hardy - the two are influenced by each other as much as the natural landscape of the Welsh countryside and the elements that shape it.
"My work is a record of pure engagement with colour and the material qualities of paint and surface. The work focuses on composition and arrangement of colour in a reductive, subtle minimal way, inspired by the natural landscape." - David Hardy

“These works draw inspiration from the natural world, ethereal hues along with undulating forms of the landscape and the complex tapestry of emotions that nature invokes. At the heart of these works lies a deep-seated fascination with the concept of presence—both of the self within the natural world and of the natural world as it impresses upon the self.” - David Hardy, The Presence of Being

March Drop 2024
“A continuing collection that explores the endless possibilities of shapes and forms that create a sense of rhythm through the works. Guided by the unpredictable nature of intuition and spontaneity.” - David Hardy, Form
Drop 5 - Winter 2022
"My work isn’t documentative, I paint to represent a feeling or capture an atmosphere or create atmosphere. What I don’t want is to simply create another view of an existing place. The aim is to create a feeling that resonates with the viewer, what ever that may be." - David Hardy, Faded Days
Drop 1 - New Year 2022
"The landscape kept changing, turning in and out but refusing to pause. Leaving me with remnants, hints of forms, like distant memories of what was no longer." - David Hardy, Suggested Landscapes

Drop 2 - Spring 2021
"I’ve always been fascinated by the fine mist of the night as it draws in. There’s something quite special about the feeling of dusk, shapes and forms take on other meanings. A moment in which light and dark touch for a few moments." - David Hardy, Winter Light
Winter Limited Edition Prints
Drop 4 - Autumn 2020
“The oval has been a recurring form in my painting – simple, not self-intersecting, slightly elongated alongside more arbitrary marks & shapes. The works are an emotional response to the medium of paint, the watery nature of oils capture energy & movement. By using a restrained colour palette, relying on slight differences in tone and paint application to create depth and layers in the work.” - David Hardy, Ovals - Series I
