David Wightman Figurative Paintings

British, b. 1980

Wightman studied Fine Art at Middlesex University (2001) and gained an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art, London (2003). He has had numerous solo and group exhibitions and has been commissioned by English Heritage and Arts Council England. Wightman has also collaborated with the fashion label Akris.
