HTML

David Abse was born in London in December 1958. Despite being born in England, David never has felt that this defines his identity. His father (Dannie Abse) brainwashed him to support Cardiff City FC, and told his son that he was half Welsh, and half Jewish, and half English. David realised early on his father's mathematical shortcomings and was glad that his father had chosen a career as a poet rather than as a quantum physicist. David's mother (Joan Abse) was from Lancashire (St Helens) and her parents were English and Scottish. She moved to London as a young woman where she met David's dad, Dannie. After bringing up three kids, she became a renowned art historian. David's maternal grandfather (Jack Mercer) had a profound effect on David's life: He worked as a shop steward for years in the Pilkingtons' glassworks in St Helens, but after he retired he went to art school every day for 30 years. He died over 20 years ago, aged 99, still a communist, determined not to get a telegram from the queen.

Buying

Most work is for sale, as original paintings, drawings or limited edition prints. Prices vary accordingly and shipping charges from France will also vary. I also make T shirts.

You can also buy framed original drawings (and t shirts) from my "a little market" page or prints from my etsy shop here. Please go to my big cartel shop to see currently available limited edition prints and T shirts. If you've visited before, keep a look out because I will rotate what's available. Some of my work is available on Art Web, too.

If you are interested in buying an original painting or drawing direct from me that isn't available on Art Web please contact me via the contact page. Please give details of what you are interested in. In addition to the work you see on this site, I will happily take commissions.

Alternatively it is possible to buy my work (originals and prints) via one of the following websites:

Prices vary at each website because of commission and shipping charges. Saatchi, Fine Art America and Blue Canvas also sell giclée prints in various formats of all artwork, including prints on acrylic, iphone covers and cards.
