- David and Daniel
David Yeh is a Glenorie based artist with special needs. David has always been interested in art since childhood, but has been practicing art more seriously in the last six years, working with Access Art Consultant, Cassandra Hard.
Within his art practice, David is interested in abstraction and pattern making—exploring elements such as colour, shape, tone and texture. He has developed a highly expressive style, applying his drawings and paintings with energetic marks and brush strokes. David also enjoys painting people. He has a 'warts-and-all' approach to his sitter, desiring to paint everything he sees. A series of portraits has been included in this exhibition.
David's most recent project has been a series of designs based on Eastern pattern making. His interpretation of Moghul design has resulted in a beautiful set of flowers and leaves, carefully drawn in watercolour pencil.
Daniel Kim is an artist based in Kings Langley with special needs. He has always shown great interest in painting and drawing since childhood. With the guidance from Rowland Hassall School and Access Art Consultant, Cassandra Hard, he has been able to join various studio projects and exhibitions. Daniel is currently enrolled at TAFE, studying Foundation Painting and Drawing. He continues to express his emotions and his view of the world through art. As a person, he is quiet and 'cheeky'—and brings a gentle and warm presence to others around him.
Daniel draws most of his inspiration to make images from real life. He has mostly painted in the genres of Still Life and Landscape, but recently he has started exploring portraiture. This exhibition contains several landscapes and still-life's, but also contains a recent project whereby Daniel has painted his family members from photographs.
