New Paintings

DAVID RALPH

Recent work has looked at the places that artists and musicians colonise and transform. After moving to Leipzig in 2014, Ralph became interested in the derelict buildings that artists choose to reoccupy, as property elsewhere in the western world becomes unaffordable. This interest has expanded into an examination of historically significant spaces of former creative ferment. Sites such as the CBGB's club in New York and the Bimbo Bar and Spinnerei complex and interior in Leipzig have been the subjects of recent works.
