Event Information
David Bottomley is an award-winning poet, playwright, librettist and artist with a passion for environmental and ecological conservation. He paints landscape, still life and abstract work in oil on canvas and is a colourist, influenced by the post-impressionism, Neo-Romantic and abstract expressionist art.
Local landscape artist and writer, David Bottomley is lucky that his studio at Brockley Art House directly overlooks Hilly Fields park, a hidden gem in south east London providing the inspiration behind many of his paintings and writing. He has produced a series of studies of large oil on canvases of the distinctive groups of park trees from his window through changing seasonal light and colours. David also writes about trees and eco climate issues and one of his concrete poems, winning an international competition, is published in New Beginnings, a poetry anthology by Renard Press 2021. This poem has taken on a new life and is being set to piano accompaniment as an art song for tenor or soprano by an American composer.

Those who are local to south east London are well aware of the amazing amount of green spaces we have but those venturing further from other areas of London will be pleasantly surprised. There is even an app you can download to discover walking the Brockley 3 Peaks Challenge if you require smart phone guidance.

Brockley 3 Peaks Challenge takes in Hilly Fields, Blythe Hill and One Tree Hill. (which you’ll be delighted to hear boasts more than one tree).
