Artist: Andrew Gifford

Andrew Gifford has had a home in the Dordogne for over 25 years and its landscape has been a constant thread in the progress of his painting over that time. The sheer pleasure of painting outside in the summer months runs through every one of these smaller paintings, which are gathered together from the last six years. The exhibition also features his six part series of Poplar paintings shown at Société des Beaux-Arts in Périgord, where the artist was invited as guest of honour in 2023.

Andrew Gifford is recognised for his innovative paintings and light installations based on the landscape. His work has been widely exhibited, including solo public shows at Leeds City Art Gallery (2004), Fruitmarket Gallery Edinburgh (2001) and Middlesbrough Art Gallery (2000). In 2014 his exhibition Two Cities: Paintings of Jerusalem and Ramallah toured with the British Council to Al-Ma'mal Foundation, Jerusalem and the A. M. Qattan Foundation in Ramallah. Also in 2014 an exhibition, ‘Cities of the Northeast’ was shown at the University of Northumbria and in 2016 his exhibition ‘New York Paintings’ was exhibited in New York at the Spring Masters in the Armory building. Other exhibitions have taken place in Hong Kong, Singapore and Houston. His work is included in the collections of the New Art Gallery, Walsall and Chatsworth House and in private collections in Europe, USA and Asia. A monograph on the artist was published in 2005.
