Bill Gingles

As an artist, Bill Gingles is primarily interested in paint and the experiences of painting. His canvases are painted with layers of thickly troweled, brushed, scraped, and scumbled paint and delicate layers of washed color.

He also has an ongoing interest in philosophical questions surrounding the nature of being and why we are here. Painting is his way of trying to grapple with such questions. He regards painting as a kind of alchemy in which spirit and matter are transformed in the crucible of painting.

Gingles describes the dynamics of painting as a moving balance between controlling the painting and allowing it to lead the way. The magic is in finding a way to let go.

Bill Gingles is represented in several fine galleries from the Sonoma Valley in California to London. His paintings are included in numerous important private and corporate collections throughout North America including The Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, OH; The Longview Museum of Art, Longview, TX; Sonoma State University, Rohnert Park, CA; First Energy Capital Corporation, Calgary, Alberta; Iberia Bank, Dallas TX: and Simplex Investments, Chicago, IL.
