{"title":"David Wightman","description":"\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eI am a painter and printmaker living and working in London, UK. My colourful landscape and abstract paintings are created from meticulously hand-cut collaged wallpaper using a technique similar to marquetry.

A sharply rendered, ice-capped mountain rises with quiet authority against a deep, uninterrupted blue sky, while layered rock formations in muted greys carve out a sense of depth and stillness.
