David Steer is a contemporary artist and poet living and working in Central Brittany whose work explores themes of memory and identity and, in particular, what it means to be an artist and poet in today’s turbulent and fragmenting world.
David’s linocuts reflect a careful attention to form, pattern, and negative space, often using the medium’s inherent constraints to amplify emotional resonance and storytelling. His printmaking practice is rooted in tradition and experimentation, drawing from a range of influences while forging a distinct visual voice.
In addition to his print work, David creates collage poetry and mixed media pieces that expand on similar themes, building a cohesive body of work that feels both personal and quietly universal.
David Steer est un artiste contemporain et poète vivant et travaillant en Bretagne centrale, dont l’œuvre explore les thèmes de la mémoire et de l’identité, et plus particulièrement ce que cela signifie d’être artiste et poète dans un monde actuel marqué par les turbulences et la fragmentation.
Ses linogravures témoignent d’une attention minutieuse portée à la forme, aux motifs et aux espaces négatifs, exploitant souvent les contraintes inhérentes au médium pour renforcer la résonance émotionnelle et la narration. Sa pratique de l’estampe s’enracine à la fois dans la tradition et l’expérimentation, puisant dans une diversité d’influences tout en forgeant une voix visuelle singulière.
En plus de ses œuvres imprimées, David crée des poésies en collage et des pièces en techniques mixtes qui prolongent ces mêmes thématiques, construisant un ensemble cohérent d’œuvres à la fois personnelles et discrètement universelles.
Art Experience
David has been a committee member of the Association Chaudron des Arts based in Mael Carhaix (22430) since 2021 and has gained experience of organising exhibitions and events and an annual art market.
David’s current project for the Association is the curation and promotion of an exhibition for 2026 entitled ‘Artists on the Frontline’ . This exhibition will feature the work of Ruslan Dubov, an artist from Dnipro, Ukraine and Laima Antanaitiene, from Lithuania. In keeping with David’s vision, the artists were chosen not only because they literally live and work on the frontline but because as artists using AI and digital tools to create their work they are on the frontline of new technology exploring what it means to make art in the 21st century.
