Colin H Davidson
Born 1961 in Donaghadee Co. Down but now lives in East Belfast.
Davidson, a previous employee of Harland & Wolff served his 4 year apprenticeship as a mechanical
engineer, starting in Sept. 1977 to 1981 then a further 9 years working in different departments
leaving the company in 1990 to join Bombardier
A self taught artist, he was always overwhelmed with the diverse shapes and mega structures that
the shipyard had to offer, large superstructures, ships sections, ships engines the size of houses and
transportation vehicles, all of which continue to give him inspiration to work from.
It wasn’t until 2007/8 that his wife had mentioned about using these images from his memory to
create an industrial view of his days working in H & W.
Since then he has been commissioned to paint similar views and continues to support local galleries
and charities. It was only in November 2016 at the age of 55 he made the decision to leave his role as
a Tool Design Engineer for Bombardier to work full-time as an artist.
More recently in 2017, Davidson was commissioned to paint 8 large pieces for the Titanic Hotel
Belfast which can be viewed in Drawing Office No. 2...the artist said at the time, “ I am very humbled
and grateful to have my work hang in the very place I once worked”.
Davidson’s work also hangs in small private collections throughout the UK and Ireland, USA, Canada,
Hong Kong, Dubai and Australia.
