David Lloyd Blackwood Art for Sale at Auction

Painter, Illustrator

Artist David Blackwood is a visual storyteller using printmaking to tell the epic seafaring tale of Newfoundland's captains and skippers. Born in the small coastal community of Wesleyville, Newfoundland in 1941, Blackwood was a wunderkind who, by 23, had an etching displayed in the National Gallery of Canada. Prints by David Blackwood always remained focused on the mariners of his hometown, even though he moved to Toronto to study at the Ontario College of Art in 1959.

Today, artist David Blackwood is considered one of the most important printmakers in Canada. A documentary titled BLACKWOOD filmed him producing some of his Newfoundland-inspired prints and was nominated for an Academy Award. Artwork for sale by David Blackwood sit in some prestigious art collections including that of Queen Elizabeth II.
