David Schofield RGI is a Scottish artist who loves to tell a story, a moment in time or part of an ongoing narrative. Observations of his life and the lives of others work their way through his paintings. Dreamscapes linking the viewer between two worlds, a rendering in paint of a collective subconscious, a window into our deepest desires and fears.
