Concern for the environment was a recurring theme for David Leverett. The artist was born in Nottingham, but moved to London to study at the Royal College of Arts. His works were part of a number of significant exhibitions, such as 1966 Young Contemporaries, 1968 Britain Painting and Sculpture at the Whitechapel Gallery, among others. He exhibited in numerous prominent galleries from Venice to New York and his works are part of the Tate Collection, V&A and the Arts Council of Great Britain.
