Art Gallery Devon : Davidson Fine Art

22 High Street, Totnes

Tel: 01803 865774

Welcome to Davidson Fine Art, an independent gallery based in Totnes, the heart of the South Hams. Devon and Cornwall have played host to colonies of artists and sculptors since the late 19th century and thriving communities still exist. It is for this reason that we specialize in West Country painters and sculptors, giving some of our most original talent an opportunity to show their work.

Two of our region's biggest names are John Chancellor and Robert Lenkiewicz. We are the main outlet for the late, great marine painter's prints and originals; all can be viewed on this site. We also specialize in the original works of Lenkiewicz and are an outlet for the books published about him.

The gallery represents a small selection of what we consider to be some of the best artists working in the area. These include Valerie Davide, whose madcap animal drawings in charcoal depict excitable Jack Russells, inquisitive cows and frisky horses, they have to be seen to be appreciated.

Richard Thorn is best known for his coastal views in watercolour but has recently had great success with his mixed media works too. Richard remains enchanted by our coast and countryside, themes that have always formed the basis of his work. He captures the very essence of our beautiful county in a very distinctive style, encompassing strong use of colour counter-balanced by delicate use of light.

Loddiswell-based Keith Stott specializes in views of Dartmoor and works in pastel. His long love affair with this vast and beautiful part of Devon is intricately portrayed in all its many moods.

We also represent McDonagh & Wright, two very talented ladies from the Plymouth region whose contemporary kiln fired glass wall hangings are a big hit. Their one-off designs feature dichroic and iridescent inclusions which fragment natural light to bring a focal point to any room.

St Ives based Eric Ward's oils on canvas completed en plein air in typically Cornish style feature the rivers and harbours of some of the county's most beautiful locations.
