Garry Richard Gilchrist studied at Glasgow School of Art between 1969 and 1971.
He has spent the majority of the last twenty years living and working from his studio in London, and has exhibited extensively in both the UK and the USA.
Garry’s work specifically depicts the euphoria, the fragility, the beauty, the mayhem, and the hilarity of modern day, urban life. His poetic paintings take us on a rollercoaster journey, via a cast of angels, princes, villains and rogues, that simultaneously ascend, swoop, teeter, swagger and stagger their way through personified, kaleidoscopic cityscapes.
His work reflects the precarious chance and the gamble of life in the 21st Century and its ultimate universal pathos. Garry delivers his message in a totally unique voice.
