April 29, 1932

If David Tindle (April 29, 1932) needs an introduction:

'David Tindle is best known for the technical accomplishment of his work in egg tempera, emphasising the stillness and emptiness of interior spaces. However, he is a versatile artist and has made use of various media of painting and printmaking to depict a wide range of subjects.'

Hopefully this thumbnail still makes the cogency of this description apparent.





'David Tindle was born in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, on 29 April 1932. He studied at Coventry School of Art (1945-47) and then worked as a commercial artist in Soho, where he befriended John Minton and other artists. He held his first solo show of paintings in 1952 at the Archer Gallery, Notting Hill, and has been represented at various phases by the Piccadilly Gallery (1954-83), Fischer Fine Art (from 1985) and, most recently, the Redfern Gallery.
