Gary works on lost scenes from Edinburgh within context of his ancestors.
Taking Expressionism and early 20th Century painting, printmaking, and illustration as influences, Gary turns to them for inspiration in composition and colour. Fitting his love for art within a fast-paced life, Gary's paintings are made in speed, in a rush, albeit made with love and care. Developing a relationship with art that stops you in your tracks and urges you to look longer, Gary hopes to evoke the same feelings in his paintings for his viewers allowing them to admire and visually analyse the paint and brushwork in his works.
Often producing narrative paintings and drawings, Gary captures his life and family history in his practice. Over the last few years, he has worked on lost scenes from Edinburgh within context of his ancestors and family members who lived in the now forgotten areas of the town and beyond.
