The two participating artists both address the w ay the human body moves and interacts with its environment. David’s Fine Art MA studies focused on the role of rhythm and gesture in painting and Faith’s sculptural practice stems from her personal experience of cerebr al palsy and the restrictions this places on the movement of her own body. \n\nDavid\, a professional artist since 2000 who spent many years living a nd working Snowdonia\, says of his work: ”Some people have said that ma ybe the figures within the paintings and drawings are self-portraits. I wo uld not argue with that as I am trying to show my feelings of a physical r elation with my immediate environment\, which for the last 30 years or so has been full of mountains and hills”\n\nFaith\, who is based in Liverpo ol and has many public art works on display across the UK and beyond\, des cribes her approach: “My sculptural practice stems from having cerebral palsy\, a disability that is almost imperceptible to most people\, but has a big impact on my daily life.  My work explores the body in motion\, bu t free of all restrictions like jumping\, climbing\, swimming\, skydiving\ , free running\; it’s the moment in mid-air that interests me most!  My sculptures are purposely universal\, often genderless figures set in spac e\, so the viewer can focus on the action or movement of the figure. To ob serve and capture energetic movement I use dancers and athletes as models to help achieve dynamic sculptural sequences. It’s important to me that my artwork is accessible\, aiming to spark some personal connection or rec ognition with the viewer.”\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artinliverpool.com/wp-content/upload s/2017/01/dave-brightmore.jpg LOCATION:dot-art Gallery\, 14 Queen Avenue\, off Castle St.\, Liverpool\, L 2 4TX\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom GEO:53.406693;-2.991183 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=14 Queen Avenue\, off Castl e St.\, Liverpool\, L2 4TX\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100 ;X-TITLE=dot-art Gallery:geo:53.406693,-2.991183 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20161030T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
