David Paskett
Renowned Worldwide for his telling depictions of all that is China, David has found fresh inspiration. His life enhancing collection of colourful paintings of The Middle East is the fruit of his residency at The Majlis Gallery in December 2012 an experience which he describes below
“I was drawn to the waterways and quay sides of the Creek, the Souks and bazaars, the elegance of The Al Fahedi Historic Neighbourhood with its sunlit courtyards and dramatic shadows. I often found myself looking down from balconies and through narrow alleyways upon daily tasks being performed with both old buildings and modern architecture as a backdrop.”
Elected to the Royal Water Colour Society in 2001, David became Vice-President in 2007, and served as President from 2009 to 2012.
David has won several awards for painting and his work is in many Collections in the UK and China, a country he has lived in and been inspired by for many years. His patrons include HM Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother; Standard Chartered Bank, Freshfields, Hargreaves Lansdown and The Hong Kong Jockey Club.
