David Henty Videos

Explore a curated collection of videos offering insight into the work, discipline, and remarkable technical mastery of artist David Henty. These features provide a deeper understanding of his highly specialised practice and the rigorous processes behind his meticulously executed paintings.

The first video in this collection is an In the Studio interview filmed at Forest Gallery’s Peasmarsh Studio & Framing location. In this conversation, David discusses his unique artistic path, the discipline required to work as a copyist, and the immersive research that underpins each painting. Viewers gain rare insight into how historical techniques, materials, and artistic psychology are studied and absorbed long before a brush touches the canvas.

David Henty is widely recognised for his ability to recreate the styles and nuances of some of history’s most iconic artists with extraordinary accuracy. Wherever possible, he sources period-appropriate pigments, brushes, boards, and materials, ensuring that each work remains true to the original context while still existing as a distinct David Henty painting with its own narrative.

The video also touches on David’s wider public profile, including extensive media coverage and his role as a speaker on the subject of art forgery. With a book in development and a feature film based on his life currently in production, his work continues to attract attention well beyond the traditional gallery setting.

As this video collection develops, future features may explore commissions, specific artists David has studied, and deeper discussions around technique and authenticity. Forest Gallery is pleased to work closely with David Henty and welcomes enquiries regarding commissions or special requests.
