Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is extremely pleased to announce that David Swainson has been named as the Gallery’s new featured artist and he will now be promoted by the gallery for the next 14 days in the gallery’s Artist Showcase.
David is an award-winning photographer based in Oregon, USA. He was selected as 1 of the top twelve finalists in the gallery’s 32nd Solo Art Exhibition Series. The placement in this competition qualified his artwork to be showcased in this feature.
His Artist Showcase feature will be promoted to hundreds of major news outlets. In addition, the gallery will also be featuring and promoting his artwork in the gallery’s various social media networks for further exposure.
Below are David’s Artist Biography, Artist Statement and 5 of his photographs submitted to this competition.
David was born in New Zealand and moved to the US where he developed an interest in photography. He is mainly a self-taught landscape photographer. Growing up in New Zealand, David was surrounded by the beauty and power of nature and discovered the peacefulness of solitude. With his photography he takes inspiration from what nature offers. Upon retiring, travel and photography became intertwined. With that came a fascination of an incorporation of urban landscapes, the backstreets, the markets and the beauty, vibrance and contrasts of other countries.
The Cycle of Rice - Rice is the lifeblood of the Asian economy. It begins its life in the rice fields of the plains and the rice terraces of the mountains. My journey has taken me to the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam through different seasons to experience the beauty of the fields and terraces and the people who live and work the land as they have for hundreds of years.
