David Ardley Biography

Born in 1951 in Berkeley California, David was raised and educated on the California coastline.

From a young age David began his “love affair” with the ocean, becoming a surfer at age 13 and being dazzled by the beauty of the sea. As a teenager and young man, his artistic talents emerged as he experimented with airbrushes and surrealist images.

In 1974 he emigrated to New Zealand where he built a beachside home and started a family. Being surrounded by an inspiring environment moved David to continue his artistic passion. With many exhibitions in New Zealand including a big show at the Auckland Society of Arts back in 1987, and his participation in the original “Artex(s)” back in the 1990’s, David’s work has always been well known in New Zealand. After a long stint working in the Art Department with the Film Industry in Auckland on feature films and TV, David made the move, with his supportive partner Jo, to Australia and the Gold Coast in 2005 to further his career as an artist.

 

David has been painting for over 35 years and working on aluminium almost exclusively for 16 years. During this time, he has perfected the process of painting in oils directly into metal. His works are unique, mesmerizing, and stand out from the crowd. David’s Art embraces water, light, and the natural world as the central core of his inspiration, while being completely focused on the connection we all share with the natural environment.

David has won two prestigious Art awards in Australia – First prize in landscape for “Liquid Radiance” at the Doyle Awards in 2010 and The People’s Choice Award for “The Ocean Cubed” at the Swell Sculpture Festival in Queensland.

Recent sales include three aluminium works for the Katara Cultural Village in Doha Qatar for their permanent exhibition. His Art has been purchased by collectors from all over the world and he has accomplished many large and exciting commissions during his career.
