Gerald Prior

First I was a Painter, then I was a Painter again, now I am a painter again and again.
Born in 1955 in Uxbridge ,England, I now live in central London and take many trips to Europe, the Middle East and India. On many journeys, the best moments stay in the mind even when they miss the camera, so photos are used only as a reference and are not copied as its the feeling rather than the actual that I convey in my painting which I do from my home based studio space.I have a long history of producing paintings, I still have my first large panel, signed 1974. Sadly, a lot of my work from the late 60s and 70s has been lost or suffered catastrophic destruction over the years, but I cannot help but produce new work, more or less whatever my circumstances.

I had a 1970s style Art school Education.
1971- 1973 Foundation course at the Harris School of Art, Preston, Lancashire.
1976-1978 A short stay at the now defunct but notorious..
Hornsey School of Art
2013-2016 Achieved First class Degree with Honours at
The University of East London.

2010 exhibited at the Folkestone fringe festival, taking over a beach hut and creating an installation.
2019 took part in the Brighton festival, exhibiting paintings.
