| GEOFF GUNBY
Surprisingly, Geoff Gunby has never formally trained, not having been forced into a 'style' as such, he has instead evolved several ways of looking at the world in paint: thick impasto on board using pallet knife, brush and scraper, brushed out paintings on board and canvas and realist paintings on canvas. His adept use of all these materials has been developed through studied experimentation and exploration, his work is both prolific and diverse but united by a determination to say something new about his subjects, which include portraits, landscapes and city street scenes. He produced a large set of swiftly executed paintings entitled 'When Farmer Oak Smiled', of all the members and staff at Studio Upstairs, a facility aimed primarily at survivors of the psychiatric system, where he took up a year’s residency. He sites his influences as the school of London artists, Kossoff, Auerbach, Freud, and the American photo-realists.
