David Penman - Arts Canterbury

David Penman

About

David Penman came to painting from a long career in environmental science where he developed a strong interest in the synergies driving creative processes in the sciences and arts.

As retirement loomed, he began to explore his creative side where oil painting on canvas involved design and experimentation. David has painted across a range of genres from shop windows to interpretative landscapes that reflect personal interests and stories. He has been inspired by the works of Edward Hopper and ‘Inside/Outside’ was an early theme moving to ‘Solitude and isolation’ currently.

David has exhibited at the Darfield Art Show (2015,2017), Liffey Gallery (2014, 2015, 2016) and a work was Runner Up in the 2017 Aspiring Art Show in Wanaka. A move to Auckland  for the past 5 years had exhibitions with the Auckland East Arts Council and in 2022 he curated the ‘Two Brothers, Two Journeys’ exhibition with his twin brother John. He has now returned to Christchurch.
