Artist David Manks joins Artsite Contemporary.

David Manks is a popular and well regarded landscape artist from the Illawarra Region of the  South Coast of NSW.
David Manks is a graduate of TAFE NSW and The City Art Institute (now UNSW) completing his Master of Creative Arts at the University of Wollongong.

David has been exhibiting regularly since 1989 with his work being featured regularly in articles and publications. He is recognised through numerous local Art prize awards and finalist prize exhibitions, including in the Mosman Art prize, Camden Art Prize, Fleurieu Art Prize, and Paddington Art Prize.
His work is held in numerous private and public Collections in Australia, Dubai, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Hong Kong (China), Netherlands and the United States.

Much of David’s work is grounded in the environment surrounding his home in the Illawarra region.

Although his work is regional in character and subject matter, he states his intention is “to express and explore a variety of issues that go beyond a localised context.” He explores the landscape, “often focusing on the sublime..”
