“David was an inspiration to artists and an evangelist for joy who gave the gift of his art to a world that really needs more not less of him right now.”
Tacita Dean, artist
She speaks for me. He was an inspiration. I loved his colour, his continual exploration and I loved his accessibility, his lack of arty-fartyness, his humour and joy. I shall always remember his 2012 exhibition A Bigger Splash, which I went to, 8 years before I started painting myself, and which even features in one of my books - Plotting for Grown-ups.

During lockdown, his Normandy Spring iPad paintings brought me huge joy, as well as inspiration. Het went to the exhibition in London and sent me the book. Thank you, Het!
Thank you, David.
