David Gommon was my father, I grew up surrounded by his work. I remember him painting the 1952 Self-Portrait which we have just presented to Northampton School for Boys, formerly Northampton Grammar School where he was the Senior Art Master. Through his influence my career choice moved from Agriculture to Architecture. I began what has become a lifetime of showing his work with an exhibition in the foyer of the Liverpool School of Architecture.
David was a prolific painter, the collection of work we inherited from my mother was extensive, rich and exciting. Kelly Ross hosted the first of four exhibitions at her Art Stable Gallery in Dorset in 2015, and prompted the idea of making a book, now published as the Monograph. So many intriguing coincidences have spurred on the drive to share David’s dynamic work with those who have eyes to see.
