Dave Hartley
Born in 1970, and originally hailing from Hyde, Dave is now based in Stockport. Often focusing on the ordinary and unnoticed aspects of everyday urbanism, he seeks out remnants of a forgotten time, capturing the rugged beauty of a lost landscape which was once so commonplace in towns such as Bolton, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale and Stockport. Skilfully he immortalises them in a distinctive and unique style of graphite art. His work is now becoming widely sought after, not just in the UK but as far away as the US and South Africa.
