David is from and based in Edinburgh and graduated with an MA Fine Art from the University of Edinburgh in 2000. He was also the winner of the RSA John Kinross Student Scholarship to Florence in 2001. David took an epic journey through the Middle East and into Europe. "This journey represents the dissemination of ancient alchemical knowledge from Egypt, through the Middle East and into Europe, in order to explore the transforming effects of modern development brought about by technologies such as nuclear development and global communications. Without staying in one place for any length of time, this huge journey provided a range of encounters with cultures undergoing transformation, nations being born and people adapting to new ways of life amid their ancient heritage". His work from this journey was exhibited as a solo exhibition at the Royal Scottish Academy "The Cusp of Change: A Journey Through the Middle East" 16th March - 15th April 2007. Alongside his full-time artistic practice, he is also the Founder and Creative Director of Hidden Door, an organisation set up to generate exciting events to showcase new up-and-coming arts talent in Scotland across different art forms, mainly through staging annual ‘underground’ multi-arts festivals in Edinburgh.

* PETER HOWSON OBE (SCOTTISH b. 1958),WOMEN ON THE MIND - DON GIOVANNI 1995oil on canvas, signedimage size 123cm x 107cm, overall size 132cm x 117cm Framed.Note: In 1995 Peter Howson collaborated with John Cox and the Scottish Opera on a new production of Mozart’s Don Giovanni. In an amazing interview with the Glasgow herald in 1995 Howson commented: “It’s an incredible opera and a fantastic opportunity. I’ve got the opera bug now. Everything to do with Don Giovanni is curvaceous and sexy. The rest is sharp, pointed and angular. I’ve kept the colour scheme very simple: rich scarlet, vermilion, and cherry red for Don Giovanni’s territory: his bedroom, ballroom, the wedding party scenes, and for Hell. Soft greens, greys and cream for the rest. Howson produced 300 preparatory drawings for the Opera, together with a group of Oil paintings which were exhibited at Bilcliffe fine art, Glasgow in September 1995. These works were inspired by the party scene nudes in the opera. Howson explained in the interview with the Herald: 'There are hundreds of nudes everywhere, some friendly, some demonic. It's like Dante's Inferno. Don Giovanni is a man of incredible sexual appetite and John Cox wanted this depicted in a Rubenesque way: not pornographic or smutty, but with as much nudity as Scottish sensibilities allow. There's even nude caryatids and statuary carved over the door to his palace. Although Scottish Opera's audiences can be terribly Calvinistic. They don't want too much said about the nudes in case people cancel their tickets!'' Surely not? ''It's true. It happened once before with Life with an Idiot. I see Don Giovanni as the life force. His bed is red; his dressing gown is opulent, flowing gold and red. Of course, he's amoral, what used to be known as a libertine and blasphemer, but he's also a free-thinker, a man before his time, a revolutionary who rejects the religious and sexual code of his society. He's defiant and unrepentant. He never forces himself on women, merely seduces. His affair with Donna Anna is the first time in his amorous career that things have gone wrong. He doesn't feel guilty for the Commendatore's death as the duel was fought in self-defence. When he's dead the town stagnates and misses him. The Don Juan story has always been popular even in folklore. Back in 1787 when the opera was first performed in Prague it must have seemed scandalous but today it's not so. We've tried to avoid setting the opera in any specific period. Hopefully, it's timeless.'' Provenance: Sotheby's, Gleneagles, lot 1024, 31st August 2005, estimate £10,000 - £15,000.
