"INstinction" - Solo Show (May 1-30) 2021
Deer Lake Art Gallery - May 1-30 2021 - 6584 Deer Lake Ave, Burnaby, BC
"The world around us is made up of many different, complex layers. These layers are interwoven amongst each other such that they become defined by the relationships between them. We try to make sense of those layers by distilling them into pieces and recombining them into narratives. Through a combination of acrylic, bright colours, and multilayering techniques, this series presents a story as told by David Righton. Nature meets modern daily life." - Deer Lake Gallery

Limited Edition Print Remix - "Everything Ends up somewhere" ltd 50
I've done a limited edition print run with a twist. Each print in the run of 50 will be an original remixed version of the painting "Everything Ends Up Somewhere". Every print is numbered 1 to 50, hand altered, re-imagined and remixed, giving each piece a 1 of a kind unique version of the original piece of artwork. Using stencils, spray paint, acrylic and markers, each piece is transformed into a mini original. Only 50 will be made in this series and once they are gone that's it. I will post here as they are created and the ones that are available can be purchased in the store section of this site. Get them while you can!!
Changing Horizons: Art & Our ecological footprint (Jan 2021)

These fifteen artists have created work that uses the natural world as its medium, that focuses on the fate of our planet through a political lens, and even offers solutions for reducing our carbon footprint.
