2025

In this new series, David Cass shifts toward a more representational way of working, presenting direct, illustrative scenes – coasts, harbours, and sea-facing buildings – created during and inspired by travels across Greece: from the Peloponnese, Attica and Phocis regions to the Cycladic and Ionian islands.

This body of work acts as a deliberate counterpoint to the artist’s ongoing conceptual projects including Light on Water and TILL. While Light on Water traces an abstract visual language developed since art school, these paintings return to source: to observation, materiality, and the particular atmospheres of place. Water remains central in Cass’s practice, but here the vantage point is included – indeed, it becomes the subject. Thirty-five of these paintings will be exhibited at Tatha Gallery, Fife (Scotland) during October 2025.
