A fabulous exhibition from two new to the area Artists Brian Madden & Gillian Park We are delighted to be exhibiting these talented artists to the area
Gillian Park Gillian graduated as a designer from GSA in 1993. Since the year 2000 however she has concentrated on her painting, he has confessed to being a lover of shoes and all things vintage, this topic features in some of her work. Aside from this she paints the rich colourful landscapes of Ayrshire. Combining this with her Graphic design (day job) she says she is lucky enough to be able to teach at an Art Class in the local area. Her studio on the harbour side is where she works on her fabulous landscapes.
Brian Madden Brian Madden was born in 1945 in Springwell, a small village in the North East of England. His love of ships and all things nautical was kindled at a very early age by his Grandfather, who would regularly take him to see the great ships that came and went from the once vibrant and thriving shipping industry of the North East.
His paintings and sketches over the last forty years are an excellent chronicle of the various changes in shipping and alas, the sad decline of this once great industry.
He still works as an engineer on the Clyde tugs, and in his spare time can be seen around the Cowal Peninsula painting and sketching.
