More from Gordon…
“I was born in Gibraltar. As a youngster, my family and I moved around the world whilst my father was serving in the army. We finally settled in Northamptonshire when I was 12. It was there I met my wife.
My love of painting started early. Subsequently, I was encouraged by my art teacher to attend art college. I decided against it because I didn’t want to dilute my own unique style of art with being taught to paint in the way of someone else. I wanted to keep my own style without being influenced by anyone else. I’ve had a few exhibitions over the years although most of my work has been sold via art galleries or private commissions.
I am truly passionate about my creations. As soon as I finish a piece, I already have an idea for my next, never losing my desire to create another unique work of art.
In late 1983 I sold my first painting to a recording company in Milton Keynes. This gave me the confidence to promote my work to a wider market. This was just the start. Over the next few years I sold over nine hundred originals. Clients included companies such as MTV Europe, The Gap, AT&T and also many private collectors. Many of these were commissions which have helped to develop my unique style of painting.
I have paintings in corporate and private collections in many countries across the world such as France, Germany, Switzerland, South Korea, Denmark, Japan, United States, Australia and the United Kingdom.”
