David Laity’s next exhibition at Metro Gallery is September 6 – 26 2010.

One of the most recognizable and unique styles in current Australian art flows from the brush of David Laity.

David is a celebrated artist who believes that important things – inspiration, passion and perseverance – cannot be taught but must come from within.

“I paint what I love. I love the sensuality and beauty of the female form.”

Erotic in nature, erotic in content, sublime in execution: David Laity.
