Pop up Gallery

Welcome to the DD Pop Up gallery, a frequently changing capsule collection of original drawings and fine art prints* for sale.

“Shadow Play. This month Joséphine Baker and Marlene Dietrich work their magic in the Pop Up Gallery. Two great artists (and mistresses of illusion) distilled to their essence.” David Downton

*A number of fine art prints are available on request. For details email shopdd@daviddownton.com

Print Shop

For the collector. A series of signed fine art prints selected by David from his personal archive.

“More than an approximation, the Giclee method of printing offers a heightened, version of an original drawing. There is a strengthening of colour, a sharpening or a diffusing of line and everything looks as fresh as … paint. It is possible to forget the effort (keep working until it looks effortless!) that goes into achieving the controlled spontaneity I’m after and evaluate the work anew.” David Downton
“David Downton’s style is as light as air and as powerful as water.” Christian Lacroix
