Lot description

David Kim Whittaker, British b.1964- London Bouncer, 2004; oil on canvas, signed, dated and inscribed verso, 121.5 x 91.9 cm (unframed) (ARR)   Provenance: purchased directly from the artist on the 6th December 2004. Note: David Kim Whittaker is a self-taught artist born in Cornwall. Whittaker's work often explores the psychological and the metaphysical, especially the duality inherent in the human brain, reflecting in some way the artist's own gender dysphoria. Art historical references also appear frequently, including the present work, in which an 18th century English landscape painting materialises in the head of a London bouncer. Whittaker won the Towry Award (First Prize) at the 2011 National Open Art Competition. He has exhibited nationally and internationally, including at the Mall Galleries, the Opera Gallery, the St Ives Society of Artists, Hyde Park Gallery, and the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. Unframed. Picture appears to be in excellent original condition with no visible defects.
