"VW1300" Painting

"Gary Whitlock is a young up-and-coming artist exploring his curiosity in oil
and acrylic paints. Juggling a full time job and his painting can be
difficult but he is determined to become a full time artist in the near
future.

In 2001, Gary Whitlock started to express his interest in the arts while
studying at the Arnewood School in New Milton and at the age of 16 he
achieved a GCSE in Art and Design at the highest level.
Gary went on to study A level Fine Art at Brockenhurst College where he
experimented with mixed media and life drawing. There after, Gary ventured
West to the Plymouth College of Art studying a Foundation Degree. It was
here where Gary also developed a hand for installation projects and media
based work pushing his artistic boundaries ever more.

Gary graduated in 2010 and since then he has been painting varied subjects
with the love for vintage style and nostalgia which incorporate cars, bikes,
objects and the human figure within advertisements.

Much of Gary's time has been devoted to commission based projects which have
spread by word of mouth, the subjects being extremely versatile creating an
ever ending challenge."

I love how certain objects can give me the challenge of so many materials and textures and so I usually find my self painting cars. I like to paint people aswell to try and capture an essence of 'Life'.
