Welcome

David Rae is a painter from Dalbeattie, in the South West of Scotland. Born in 1995, he is a graduate of Gray’s School of Art in Aberdeen. Graduating with a first class honours degree in 2017, David has since then exhibited across the UK – most notably in the 2018 RSA New Contemporaries and the 2019 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.

David’s paintings explore presence and absence, featuring locations that have been visited and, at times, re-imagined. Visit the Artist Statement and CV pages for more information.
