Born in Dartford (England). He lives and works in Bovingdon (England).

David Tremlett, is an artist and a long-term traveller of different continents who made the drawing of walls and ceilings a key element of his artistic practise alongside many works on paper. Through the combination of signs, shapes and colours, he builds an experience of a place remembered, a song heard, a conversation made, giving a new life to what is now not "inhabited" or "available".
Wall drawings and works on paper, one can mirror the other, executed with pastel pigments where the colours and the geometric compositions define the space in a new fresh architectural manner. There is the tendency to think in terms of the unknown space, wondering how walls, ceilings and windows can work and interact with each other. Although predominantly two-dimensional in its result, whether on paper, or on the wall, Tremlett's work has a deep sculptural vein which is strongly recognizable, as his practice has always been sculptural and not painterly.
Massaging the powder of the pigments with the tips of the fingers and palms of the hands, spreading it out with full force as if to mould a form or figure and, as in sculpture, create a shape, a volume, appropriating the flat surface and thus transforming this wall or ceiling into a dialogue of the old with the new and thus the future.
When confronted by a work of Tremlett, and even more when you have the chance to be surrounded by one of his installations, the initial reaction is to allow the shapes and the energy of the colours to overtake you, but in fact the desire is to walk around, just as when we are confronted by a three dimensional sculpture.
There is a constant re-definition of the space that surrounds the artwork. The places are transformed, the surfaces are redefined, the physiognomy is emphasized, adding new meaning to it, its graphic intervention within the space seems to be the natural extension of the architectural element.
His work is an invitation to concentrate, to respect the harmony between inside and outside, the old and the new.
His long-term desire is in the endless research of new objects, new ideas and therefore new art.
