David Dunlop is a modern day old master whose work reflects the techniques of some of the great artists that he carefully studies and celebrates. He often uses the lost Renaissance painting techniques of Da Vinci and Titan, as well as the English watercolor techniques of the early 19th century artists JMW Turner and Caravaggistes. His luminous transparent painting system is similar to that of Rembrandt, and his early plein air strategies are reflective of the work of Corot. Dunlop incorporates the Hudson River School techniques of Gifford and Church into his pieces, as well.
One of Connecticut’s busiest artists, Dunlop has been featured on the pages of US News and World Report, as well as in The New York Times. In 2008, he hosted a 13-hour PBS series, “Landscapes through Time with David Dunlop,” that was nominated in May for two Emmys. This was an opportunity for the audience to see how great paintings have been made throughout history in the actual locations where they were painted. He’s illustrated books and teaches the popular class, “How to Paint a Really Good Landscape.” He has won many prestigious awards and his paintings are represented in scores of Fortune 500 Corporate collections including: Citibank, Chemical Bank, Ernst & Young, Dun & Bradstreet, Merrill Lynch, IBM, and the U.S. Department of State, to name a few.
