ARTIST BIO

David Henty is now recognised as the number one copyist artist in the world today. His work is meticulously and lovingly recreated to the finest detail, having honed his craft over 25 years to now master the techniques and nuances of some of history’s most iconic artists, from Basquiat to Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, L.S. Lowry, Caravaggio, Leonardo Da Vinci, Vincent Van Gogh, Norman Rockwell, Chaim Soutine, George Braque, Carel Fabrituius, Claude Monet, Edwin Landseer, Walter Sickert, Rene Magritte, John Singer Sargent and Dante Gabriel Rossetti ... the list goes on!

Each piece of artwork involves rigorous preparation through David’s immersive research process: studying the original painting, developing an understanding of how the artist worked and, wherever possible, sourcing materials true to the period. David’s expert knowledge and skill has been sourced by film and T.V. including Riviera, BBC Click, Mrs. Lowry and Son, and Sky Arts, and with a documentary about David on Vice media, podcasts, a film in the making with Nick Moran and a character in two published books. David is fast becoming one of the best known art forgers alive today!

David’s work, and the art of copying, has become its own genre, and its own legitimate art form, much sought after and collected by art lovers and galleries. Master copies have now become commonplace, and as the tides of the art world shifts and record breaking prices increase, it is of the upmost importance for copy artists to produce works of the greatest artists that have ever lived.

As an artist, David Henty is committed to this endeavour.
