David is a contemporary artist who lives and works in Brighton. David Storey's art is comprised of haunting images of blurred, half-remembered scenes that play with memory. His work is heavily influenced by the landscapes of his youth, particularly the small town of Workington where he was raised, and the beautiful shorelines of Solway Firth where he spent his holidays.

His work is heavily influenced by the landscapes of his youth, particularly the small town of Workington where he was raised, and the beautiful shorelines of Solway Firth where he spent his holidays.
Storey’s process starts with a found photograph, which the artist strives to unlock and re-discover the image. The figures are perhaps the most striking part of Storey's work, with their indistinct faces depriving them of emotion or identity. These characters are described by Storey as “re-imagined people standing on the edge of living memory, recovered from a personal archive of the forgotten.” David studied at both Hornsey College of Art and Middlesex University, before working as a record sleeve artist. However, the last 25 years of his career has been dedicated to his art, and his work has been featured in dozens of shows since his first at Brighton Museum and Art Gallery in 2003. A few highlights of his career include selection for the Discerning Eye Exhibition at the Mall Galleries in both 2019 and 2020, finalist of the Sunday Times Watercolour Exhibition in 2012 and his numerous solo exhibitions at Panter and Hall, London. David’s work has been widely exhibited across the world including in Spain, Germany, the United States and Italy.

Working from his studio in an old Victorian dairy in Brighton, East Sussex, David Storey draws deeply on the images and atmospheres of his own childhood and teenage years spent growing up in West Cumbria. Storey's work plays on the idea of memory and the point in which they begin to fade. AR: What’s the inspiration behind your new work? The inspiration behind ‘This Day’ is the notion of a half-recalled event. I grew up in West Cumbria and this imaginary figure is situated in the landscape I remember. This a continuation of the series of ‘memory’ paintings I’ve been ...
