David Muddyman 29.9.57 - 27.3.22

David Muddyman was a graduate of Plymouth College of Art and continued to live and work in the city after graduation. Much of his work was inspired by the landscapes and seascapes around the Rame Peninsula in south-east Cornwall, Plymouth and west Devon. David regularly exhibited at the Byre Gallery which was proud to represent him.

An exhibition of Dave's work will take place in Plymouth in March 2023 curated by Elaine Dye of the Byre Gallery. 

"The natural world has always been the subject of my work and these paintings try to capture an instant in time within the landscape – the colours, the light, textures and sounds. I like to paint from memory so I don’t paint in-situ but make notes of the how the scene makes me feel; what the weather is like; colours and pigment mixes I might use; and the sounds surrounding me, both real and imagined."
