David Tress 2024

The paintings and drawings in this exhibition are firmly grounded in the landscape of the area in which David Tress lives, Pembrokeshire in West Wales, but they are also a testament to the delight and fascination that he finds in exploring other landscapes throughout Britain. On the walls of the gallery will be found subjects from Dartmoor, Exmoor and Bodmin Moor rubbing shoulders with paintings resulting from trips to Teesdale, Settle and the Western Highlands of Scotland. Buildings also find their place in the show, from the ruins of Dugall’s Chapel set in its far western landscape on South Uist to the eighteenth century sophistication of classically designed temples in the parkland of Stourhead in Wiltshire.
