We love his nonconformist combination of multiple different mediums to create colourful compositions. Gareth successfully merges his multicultural background and personal memories with Eastern imagery and symbolism, unconstrained by the more traditional codes of art. Gareth was obsessed with painting as a child, but he lost touch with his passion for art after succumbing to the ‘real world’ of responsibilities. In the artist's own words: “family, work and responsibilities filled every moment but now I have more time. A second chance to pursue my childhood dream.” As Gareth has built up his artistic practice, he has gathered interest from contemporary art collectors and exhibited extensively across UK galleries and art fairs. We’ve been working with Gareth since 2019.
