David Inshaw (born 1943, Staffordshire) is one of Britain’s most distinctive figurative painters, known for his psychologically charged depictions of the English landscape. After studying at Wolverhampton College of Art and the Royal College of Art in London, he settled in rural Wiltshire in the early 1970s, a setting that has profoundly shaped his work.

His paintings, including The Badminton Game (1972–73) and Cricket Match (1973), are widely regarded as important works of post-war British art. Alongside painting, printmaking has been an important part of his practice for many years.

In the film below, recorded during an exhibition of his work, Inshaw speaks about his etchings and the process behind them, offering insight into the craft and ideas that underpin this aspect of his work.
