Print Normal David Dipnall does not remember a "beginning" of the inclination to paint, since, like most children, his early years were full of the simple joys of visual expression through drawing and painting. It seemed that every family member he knew could draw, paint, sing, and play musical instruments. Perhaps in those pre-television days such skills were more commonplace than they are today. However, when David progressed to secondary education in Portsmouth, he found to his consternation that a serious study or practice of Art was regarded with disdain, to say the least. So it was, that for nearly a quarter of a century his artistic leanings lay fallow, whilst he succumbed to the trials and tribulations of a career in the manufacturing industry, only to be re-awakened during his time teaching craft and design at Geelong Grammar School in Australia. Teaching was already a new direction in his life, so it was not difficult to make one more step and try to become a professional artist. With his wife and small son, David returned to England in May 1974, and began painting the English Landscape. Long may it continue! Whilst at Geelong, he became familiar with the works of the Heidelberg school, a group of artists working in and around Melbourne around the turn of the century. Their works not only documented the struggle of the early pioneers against difficult conditions in a strange land, but also revealed the astonishing beauty of the Australian "bush". His own reactions to these paintings stirred a deep longing to create his own impressions of the landscapes, and he decided to return to England to embark on this new career. Thus began a new life, one where David re-discovered the joys of a childhood spent in the countryside. The wonder of the seasons as they play with the ever-changing colours of the landscape. The effects of sunlight as it weaves and dances its way through foliage, or sparkles on the surface of a babbling stream. The very substance of the sea breeze as it climbs from the beach to cross the coastal meadows. The unity of Nature as it responds to the yearly round. With growing resolve over the years, David has tried to capture and communicate all these subtleties and many more, through his paintings. The publication of his work as Fine Art prints throughout a 27-year association with Solomon and Whitehead, has enabled David to reach a wide and appreciative audience, both here in the United Kingdom and overseas. He sincerely appreciates all the efforts by everyone who has been involved in his success, with special thanks to all his friends, past and present, at Solomon and Whitehead. Now, a new journey begins. Infinartum has been created as a Company that will bring the retail galleries much closer to the Artist’s studio, utilising the immediacy of service offered by web-based communication together with the finest giclee printing technology available. We look forward immensely to building, on the foundation of the past, an exciting new initiative in publishing, and to renewing his association with many of the Galleries who have contributed to his ongoing success.
