David Bray at Stolen Space

In his upcoming new solo show at Stolen Space Gallery, David Bray is inspired by the record ‘Great Disasters of the Twentieth Century’ by Georg Lubitzer, on which there is a track called 70 days.

“This track inspired me to do a drawing a day for 70 days, whatever style or content of that particular drawing dictated the style or content of the larger drawings - which evolved over the same period of time. Each drawing has a variety of mark making styles within it. The record details the occult, Egyptology, loss, magic and the supernatural - and i have tried to reflect that in the work”

Bray creates delicate and time-consuming drawings which explore emotion, utopia and a world of fantasy through his subject matter of the beautiful and erotic, but the unnatainable female form.

The exhibition opens to the public on the 04 February and then continues until the 27 February 2011. A private view for the ‘Great Disasters of the Twentieth Century’ exhibition is taking place on the 03 February.
