David McLeish

Discipline:

Multidisciplinary Artist

Location:

Dundee

ABOUT:

David McLeish is a native Dundonian and artist who dislikes calling himself an artist and referring to himself in the third person, but definitely doesn’t mind the Dundonian part.

His work is inspired by nostalgia, pop and youth-culture, Dundee, community and class; often featuring social, interactive and comedic elements.

Believing everyone to be an artist, his work itself strives to be as accessible and relatable as possible, as well as encourage accessibility to the arts in general.

His chosen media is dictated by the concept itself which sees him working across print, graphic design, music, spoken word, performance, writing, sculpture, digital manufacture and universe-craft as well as more ‘traditional’ media.

He is really glad to have made the word count for this bio.

WORKS:

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
