Gallery Two - David Alcock

Imagining and capturing a universal subject in a fresh way is one of the perpetual challenges good photographers set themselves. Man-for-all-media David Alcock pulls it off with subtlety in “The Bathers”.

Photographer's Statement

"I am lucky enough to have had a broad and amusing education: child, climber, mountaineer, factory-worker, tramp, lover, poet, novelist, luthier, musician, painter, labourer, conservator, abseiling-medieval-sculpture-conservator, businessman and father.

My pictures are always about reasons for living. Whether they show dreams, certainties, realities, fantasies, they have one thing in common: how to keep going in a world that is becoming increasingly detached from any concept of spontaneous delight. Media include photography, painting, drawing, collage and ceramics. “Bathers” (ongoing series) explores the mundane nature of washing, but in a natural setting. By allowing the figures in the pictures to go about their ablutions without artifice, I am attempting to restore some dignity to the tired genre of the 'landscape nude'."
