Dave Buonaguidi, AKA Real Hackney Dave, is a Hackney-based artist who combines the visual and verbal language of advertising and propaganda with unique imagery and materials of found objects and ephemera. In a previous life, Dave worked in advertising for over 35 years, founding several creative agencies including the likes of St. Luke’s, 4Creative and Karmarama.
He left advertising in 2019 to become a full time artist and will be talking about leaving a comfortable successful career to do the things he really loved.
