David Hume

I’m a visual artist from  South Australia.

I began painting in the 1980s while studying physics at uni, and it’s lead me through 20+ solo shows and many group exhibitions since then.

In 2022 I completed a Masters of Contemporary Art at UniSA, and in 2023 I’m working towards a solo show for SALA 2023 at Praxis ArtSpace in Adelaide.

This website shows work since 2010, but if you’re feeling brave and looking for in-depth or older information, you can also go over and poke around in the archive. There you will find a more complete list of old exhibitions, CVs, media and the like.

Please enjoy the site.
