Gavin Mayhew

Gavin Mayhew. Ageless. Born in Hull, Yorkshire. Lives and works in Leeds, West Yorkshire. UK. My repertoire of work ranges from the depiction of movement in dance, music, sport and nature to my favourite dark side, a gruesome array of Gothic humour mirroring life, politics, war, pollution, death and all that stuff. I love to work on arts projects locally and internationally where I make many lifelong artistic friends. I am mainly a painter but I also do digital photography and mixed media sculpture
