After graduating from Southampton Institute of Higher Education in 1997 with a higher second-class honours degree in Fine Art, David wasted no time in developing his fine art career. His work has been selected for exhibitions in a number of galleries across the UK. In addition he has undertaken numerous commissions.

For many, there is an intrigue as to what inspires David to produce his work. "I started as a figurative painter in oils. I had moved from the country life of Hertfordshire to the urban area of Southampton, and couldn't help but be affected by my new surroundings. Soon I found that instead of figurative work, I was painting landscapes of Southampton and the buildings in the area. It was only a matter of time before my cityscapes were to contain cement dust in them as a pigment. I realised that the elements that excited me most were the concrete panels - from then on, cement became the medium of my choice." Undery goes on to explain "This is the reason why I describe my work as 'abstract paintings in concrete'."

Undery's work crosses the boundaries between painting and sculpture to create wall hangings that combine lustrous colours with satin-soft or highly polished surfaces. Rough-cast and textured finishes are acid-etched, hand ground or carved. The creative addition of minerals and metals is both highly visual and extremely tactile. Through his own dedicated passion for concrete, Undery transforms this substance into a truly unique, aesthetic art form.

Highly developed production techniques mean that, despite their composition, each reinforced panel is remarkably lightweight, slim-line and has the durability for both interior and exterior use.

"During years' of experience as an artist I have found the medium to be highly versatile allowing me to produce completely original and unique work. I am now applying knowledge I have gained to create striking aesthetic panels to match the contemporary mood of clients." says Undery.

He breaks away from the norm - that is why his work is already sought after. 'Paintings in concrete' are adorning the walls of many prestigious projects.

Undery is an innovator constantly creating new ideas. "My work is becoming more three dimensional. I am increasingly working with different textures which evoke new sensory experiences." His imagination is fired by urban life - with this rich seam of inspiration Undery is able to merge his source material with his own abundance of ideas and ambitions, to leave a lasting impression. "The longevity of this ancient substance interests me - I want my art to look as good in a hundred years as it does today."

Immersed deep in the Hertfordshire countryside David Undery contemplates the relationship between art and science - emotion and structure. Through his work he studies the correlation of the natural and manmade - micro and macro, the cross over between geometric and freehand. With his latest series of work entitled "Organic Architecture", he continues a journey to find the link between the two.

The title of the work is as relevant to architecture as art is to the science and design of constructing physical structures, however, the term "Organic Architecture" implies an individual living system responsible for its own form and design, in some way capable of reacting to stimuli, growth and maintenance as a stable whole "states Undery. Originally phrased by Architect Frank Lloyd Wright, Undery has tailored the phrase to form a précis of his art- inorganic objects which have character and life of their own.
