David
Porteous-Butler’s work reveals
an honest and direct affinity with
his subject that is driven by his
love of the natural world. He has
a passion for the vitality of the
landscape and changing light around
him. Suffolk provides much inspiration
and the English countryside is a
true love, although he has also
worked extensively in Southern Europe
including time in France and Italy.
Working with a limited palette,
he is always faithful to the truth
in what he sees.
His portraits reveal the same integrity,
and his sculptures, whether in bronze,
stone or marble, are faithful to
his belief in a natural and simple
beauty in all things.
David studied in London under the
late Sir Kyffin Williams RA and
Anthony Green RA before being offered
a place at the Royal College of
Art. David is truly a protégé
of, and remained close to, Sir Kyffin
Williams RA until his death in 2006,
sharing his fundamental belief that
drawing and draughtsmanship are
a vital part of the artist’s
craft.
David’s work is in collections
in the UK, France, Italy, the EU
and USA. He regularly exhibits in
and around East Anglia. Commissioned
