Hello, this is the about me section. Well, I primarily paint and exhibit oil paintings. I call my work Nursery Noire.
A fascination with toys old and new, theatrically lit and dramatically set, with long characterful shadows forcefully reasserts itself again and again in my work. It’s a framework which affords me very broad creative freedom while retaining a recognisable language throughout my pieces I think.
I’m a painter at heart, but a multimedia artist in practise, there is much model making and set building in preparation for my painted work, but I also like work with textile and ceramics, with print in particular, and more recently, paper design and animation projects in collaboration with Clive @hicksjenkins at @davidwslack
My Insta is @david.w.slack so have a look for projects as they arise, and look for my paintings as they appear in the blog and gallery of this website. Please feel free to email me for enquiries, or just for a natter.

Nailed it.

I have just bought ‘Mr Big’ from Marcus at the gallery in Rye. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I fell in love with this stunning work the moment I saw it. Thank you. I’m looking forward to more of your works in future.
