David E. Hepburn, the popular pop art artist, was born in Sunderland, England in 1965. His post 1990 monochrome work has proven to be extremely popular stateside, alas, his relationship with his countrymen is somewhat troubled after he famously offended prominent art critics with the commments,

Indeed, following this outburst, the 2005 Autumn edition of international art magazine "Paroquial Parody" used the title "On The Backs of Mules." on its front cover. Hepburn continues to offend the establishment by constantly refusing to allow his work to be exhibited in the UK despite massive interest.

"A Mothers Love", perhaps his most famous collection of paintings, featuring three separate paintings of a family of Siberian tigers, recently sold through Parodial Parody for a reputed $78,000. A handsome sum indeed for an artist who only burst onto the scene post 1990.

Hepburns works are mainly in private collections and are highly sought after on the rare occasions that they reach the open market. Hepburn also has paintings hanging in the Residence of the Italian Ambassador to the United Nations in New York. Indeed, David E. Hepburn continues to push the boundaries with his unique style of painting and his straight forward no-nonsense approach to painting is refreshing and welcomed in this all too often closed field.
