poznámka:
David Trevor Tinker was born in Charlton, south London the son of a naval engineer and an embroiderer. He trained at Winchester and Bath Colleges of Art then in 1946, after four years in the Navy during the war, at the Slade School of Art. He came to Wales in 1949 to take up a Lectureship in Sculpture at Cardiff College of Art.
The exhibition, curated by the School of Art Gallery and Museum, takes place forty years after David Tinker first came to Aberystwyth to teach at the University of Wales in 1962. He was appointed Director of the Visual Art Department (now the School of Art) in 1973; a position he held until his retirement in 1986. As a result of his dedication and enthusiasm, the art department grew from a sub-department within Education to the autonomous Department of Visual Art offering Single, Joint and Masters degree programmes in art and art history.
David Tinker staged over twenty solo exhibitions and contributed to numerous group shows. With the 56 Group he exhibited in France, Germany, Holland and the USA. He was also a sculptor and stage designer undertaking major sculpted murals for public places (the largest was a cast aluminium mural for the University's new Great Hall complex at Aberystwyth), portrait busts, and stage designs for the Welsh National Opera and plays by Saunders Lewis.
He was awarded the Queens Medal for Art in 1977, sat on the Arts Council of Wales art panel, chaired the Welsh Group from 1983 to 1998, and was a Member of the Executive of the Contemporary Art Society for Wales. More recently he lead the campaign group—General Arts Lobby for Wales—providing evidence at the National Assembly's arts policy review.
