Gavin is a London based artist, with initial training in Fine Art at Middlesex University.
Gavin’s paintings are loose and expressive, using fluid movements and textures to create engaging and lively pieces. Often the canvas has been used previously as a palette to create marks and mix colours unconsciously before it becomes the beginnings of a piece itself.
Gavin’s screenprints often depict colourful, nostalgic images. As a painter who takes their work into screenprinting, Gavin brings the textures, drips and strokes into his printmaking and the use of negative space keeps the pieces fresh and contemporary.
Painting
Storytelling is very important within Gavin’s practice. He is fascinated by unearthing new stories and situations to take into his painting, alongside creating bold and intriguing imagery from narratives throughout his life. Gavin likes to keep my paintings loose and expressive, using fluid movements and textures to create engaging and lively pieces whilst thoughtfully leading the viewer to a chosen narrative. He rarely knows what a painting will look like until I begin the process. Often, Gavin has used the canvas previously as a palette to create marks and mix colours unconsciously before it is used as the beginnings of a piece itself. This helps him keep the painting fresh and Gavin especially enjoy finding the visuals often from the marks which were created without thought.”
Screen-printing
Gavin’s screenprints often depict colourful, nostalgic images. Iconic designs which he hopes invite an opening for conversation. As a painter who takes their work into screen printing, it's very important to Gavin that the textures, drips and strokes are apparent, so the negative space surrounding my artwork is important in both keeping the piece fresh and contemporary and to celebrating that chosen object.
For the past 3 years, Gavin has been a member of London's Print Club. This serves as a great creative workspace to maintain and expand connections with other artists, as well as experiment with techniques and push boundaries of what screen-prints can be.
Gavin’s ongoing dedication has led to various interviews surrounding his work and being featured in The Times by the art critic, Nancy Durrant, as part of her great art guide which has been both motivating and a great platform for him .”
