David’s ceramics are of an exceptional vitality and very quickly one becomes attached to their intense colour, David plays with a broad brush – exuberant and generous.  He communicates the essential to us : energy, joy and happiness.
Like the calligrapher or action-painting artist, David exploits the space fully …his broad coloured waves develop, rhythm, invade becoming themselves space, light… Insistent, spontaneous, magnificent.  David is perspicacious, his lively intelligent eye, fully understands traditionally glazed clay.  But David strives for creation, his methods are contemporary, there is no possibility of him returning to the past and therein lies his strength.  He really creates a totally new ceramic.”
