David McGrath was born in Manchester and graduated from Art Academy, London, in 2018. He is based in Bedfordshire. David is a 2D/3D artist and printer who currently experiments with fluorescent inks and linocut collages. He likes to combine the tradition of natural history illustration, comic-book art, and neon effects to create modern semi-abstractions which explore the recessive impact of colours and their juxtaposition.

The linocuts exploit the appeal of fluorescent inks overlaid with black to achieve a neon-like glow. Because of his interest in languages and writing, David likes to offset images with text.

Also available to look at on the website are previous linocuts from a series entitled “Amsterdam” together with a selection from other phases of work

David’s background is in Romance Languages, principally Spanish. He was previously a teacher/translator/academic writer, before turning to Art.
