Spiralling Intentionally Towards Figuration

David Treloar is an artist living and working in London who initially trained as a painter before adopting a multidisciplinary approach to his work.

He creates energetic, gestural portraits partly derived from the simple joy of extracting the magic from observed form, partly in response to the trauma of condensing an evanescent object into a moment’s believable reality. The resulting works frequently pirouette between beauty and malaise, exploring the uncertainty and frailty of the human condition
