David Wightman (born in Stockport, Greater Manchester 1980) is an English painter known for his abstract and landscape acrylic paintings using collaged wallpaper. He graduated with an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art in 2003.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://research.ncl.ac.uk/fineartvisitingspeakers/infoWightman.html )〕 In 2003, while still studying at the Royal College of Art (and having just been nominated for the Lexmark European Art Prize), Meredith Etherington-Smith, former editor of Art Review, said of his short-listed piece: "David Wightman frames his picture perfect Swiss postcard in the cool collateral of a Ben Nicholson modernist painting". In 2009, he showed a large site-specific painting: ''Behemoth'' at Cornerhouse, Manchester (2009)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cornerhouse.org/wp-content/uploads/old_site/media/General%20things/Monthly%20Listings/Cornerhouse_Listings_November_Web.pdf )〕 and went on to exhibit with Sumarria Lunn Gallery at The Hempel, London (2010). In 2010-11 he was one of two artists (the other being Hannah Maybank) selected for the Berwick Gymnasium Arts Fellowships - a six-month residency supported by English Heritage and Arts Council England. The residency took place in a Nicholas Hawksmoor designed former military gymnasium in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland. In 2013, he was commissioned by HOUSE Festival in Brighton (selected by artist Mariele Neudecker)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.housefestival.org/house-news-2013?item=31&itemoffset=8 )〕 to make a site-specific painting for a disused pavilion on Brighton's seafront. The piece (''Hero'') is the largest painting by the artist to date.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.davidwightman.net/landscape/hero.html )〕 Cherie Federico, editor of Aesthetica Magazine has said: "You must spend time with Wightman’s paintings; on the surface they are beautiful and intricate, but like the layers they are made from, there is so much depth to his works". In 2012 he had his first major solo show entitled ''Paramour'' at Halcyon Gallery, London. His work is held in several public collections including the Royal College of Art and General Energy UK.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.halcyongallery.com/artists/david-wightman )〕 Most recently, Wightman collaborated with the Swiss fashion house Akris as part of their Fall / Winter 2014/15 collection. He lives and works in London. == Further reading == * ''Paramour'', London: Halcyon Gallery. 2012.
