David Aspden: Survey A Bathurst Regional Art Gallery touring exhibition.

David Aspden (1935–2005) is one of Australia's foremost painters who first came to prominence in the mid-1960s with his large ‘hard-edge’ abstractions. Aspden’s immersion in the world of music led to celebrated painterly compositions featuring glowing colour and gestural brush strokes that strove to evoke the energy and rhythm of classical harmonies and jazz.

David Aspden the colour of music and place

I think most painters … genuine painters or obsessives, were never really satisfied with anything they did. This is why it’s possible … if they can last long enough, you know, last out ’til they’re 75 – they’re still tottering around, still trying to put paint on canvas. Most other people have given up.
