Artist’s Statement
A nostalgic look back at England’s industrial past. During my art school days in Preston in the 1960s I’d often go for a walk around Preston and remember the factories, factories everywhere, churning black smoke out from their numerous dark chimneys. It was a hive of activity, optimistic days, sadly now gone forever.

  • David J Ansell was brought up in the northern seaside town of Fleetwood in Lancashire. From a very young age he discovered that he had a natural ability for drawing. Ansell’s influences are the caricature drawings of Arnold Taylor, that he encountered on the postcards that filled the many gift shops along the promenade, and the works of the great Northern artist, L.S. Lowry.
    David J Ansell’s paintings are drawn from memory and imagination and are a wonderful snapshot of a bygone era.

Virtual Images - Where artworks are shown framed or within a room setting the images have been created using virtual/augmented reality software in some instances. The images are provided to give an idea of the scale of the artwork in the context of a room and the style of the framing. They should not be viewed as completely accurate e.g. the scale and the style/colours of the frame may vary slightly. 

An online gallery with an augmented reality option is very forward looking and very appealing to the buyer.

The picture arrived this afternoon, very well packed and in excellent condition. It is indeed a very fine picture.

The painting is received and is a really nice small study-like work...

Thank you very much for all your help.
