About the artist

Glasgow based, he was born in 1983 and graduated with a BA (Hons) from the Glasgow School of Art (GSA) in 2011. He undertook an art foundation and portfolio course including graphic design at Anniesland College at the age of 21, before gaining entry to the GSA.

Garry is a very likeable character who paints equally likeable and expressive imaginative landscapes with a particular focus on sheds and huts set against simple, non-cluttered backgrounds. The huts are escapes, which manifest a desire for simplicity rather than the complexity of modern day life, which he considers is dictated and driven by the big brands and a pervasion of media and technology. His constructs invite us to escape and find a safe haven to momentarily retreat to, where we can reflect on the true meaning of life and relationships rather than the racy, almost surreal, modern day treadmill that we can find ourselves on.
