After graduating from the Cambridge School of Art in 2007 with a Bachelor of Arts in Illustration, David Bennison’s journey as a full-time British artist centres on exploring the multi-compositional possibilities of curvilinear perspective. He is fascinated by dream symbology, which he pairs with his keen obsession for complex patterns and shapes. His artwork presents fictitious, ethereal landscapes that invite viewers to create their own interpretations. Some of these dreamscapes connect and leap from one canvas to another, crafting a never-ending story that writes itself.

Over time, David’s dreamscapes evolved to express humankind’s existential struggles where labyrinths, helter-skelters and hot air balloons, to name a few, become symbolic metaphors.

In his most recent work, David has produced a series of nostalgic artworks that explore film references to our beloved 70s charismatic Carry-On personalities with a modern technological twist. These painted film scenes have been reworked to incorporate modern-day technology, juxtaposing past and present.

The architectural drawings of Piranesi, Graphic Artist M.C. Escher, Illustrator Paul Hess, and local artist and printmaker Glynn Thomas have inspired David’s work.

Since 2007, David has produced various commissions, from private paintings to commercial advertising from 2007 to present

David is currently represented by Tyrrell Art Gallery and Saatchi Art Online.
