Alan Davie discussed his inspiration from Celtic sources in a series of letters exchanged with James Hyman published in the catalogue accompanying a recent exhibition of his work at James Hyman Gallery. "I feel strongly that I am, as it were, - TAPPING IN - to the vast store of imagery which makes up our artistic heritage from CAVE ART onwards - and of course - being of CELTIC origins one can discern a link with ancient Nordic culture. Strange how so many elements exist simultaneously in diverse cultures, such as the spiral forms in CELTIC, AUSTRALIAN, Caribbean, INDIAN, etc." (Alan Davie in Introduction, Alan Davie, exhibition catalogue, James Hyman Fine Art, London, 2003, p. 11) Please click here to contact us about this item, or if you wish to buy or sell a work by this artist. | ||||||||
