Born in 1944, David Paskett studied at Hornsey, Exeter and Liverpool Colleges of Art. His paintings are in many private collections, including The Hong Kong Jockey Club, Shell, Jardines, Chase Manhattan Bank, Honeywell, The Hong Kong Tourist Association and The World Bank. Paskett is one of England’s leading watercolourists and has been awarded many prizes including those from The Sunday Times, The Hunting/Observer Prize and The Royal Watercolour Society. China has been the major source of inspiration for David Paskett’s paintings since his first visit to China in 1986. Glimpses of everyday Chinese life, translated through David Paskett’s personal and sympathetic vision, make compelling and dramatic images.
