Dave Morgan-Davies is an artist working to challenge our perception of landscape through
photography and fi lm. Captured with a 'less is more' approach that hints at human activity, his
work invites contemplation.
Morgan-Davies describes this as 'quiet photography'; an approach that is slow, thoughtful
and considered. Regardless of climate or time or day, the work expresses a connection to his
surroundings, to get lost in its vastness and yet see the detail, exploring the margins between
what is and isn't there. Morgan-Davies’s work deliberately contains no fi gurative element, yet hints
at human activity. Morgan-Davies exhibits regularly throughout the UK, and is a member of the
Searchers group of Artists.
DAVE MORGAN-DAVIES has exhibited work in a number of group exhibitions including; Shooting from the Hip,
Centrespace gallery, Bristol, UK (2014), BV Studios Group Show, Sidcot Gallery, Somerset, UK (2014), From the
