Meet The Artist
Gordon Wilson is recognised as one of Scotland's most exciting and intriguing contemporary artists. Born in 1968, he grew up in Glasgow where he still based today. He studied at The Glasgow School Of Art and has worked in the art industry for many years as a designer and picture framer before becoming a full time professional artist.
Working from his Glasgow studio, Gordon paints a range of subject matter in his pieces, from quirky portraiture to emotive land and seascapes, with his love of the west coast of Scotland shining throughout. His much loved paintings of old ladies (Biddies), Belted Galloway's and characterful Clyde 'puffers' allow him to create amusing narratives in his paintings.
Within each painting is a huge amount of work, building layers of colour that keep you noticing something new each time you return to view. His technique involves layering thick, textured paint to create a sense of movement and vitality.
Gordon has had sell out solo exhibitions in the UK and has participated in prestigious group exhibitions in leading art galleries all over the world.
