Gary Anderson lives in Stow in the Scottish Borders. This new exhibition
of his work features paintings and drawings, mainly in oils, gouache and
charcoal.
Gary’s work ranges from abstract landscapes in a geometric or loose
style, to observational compositions and also imagined landscapes,
created from the experience of being in a particular time and place.
Sometimes painterly in style, and other times more linear and cubist, the
work often focuses on certain elements in the land to which the artist is
drawn – industry, architecture, community and social history.
Gary says:- ‘The opportunity to exhibit a selection of work at Hawick
Museum alongside the touring William Gillies exhibition is hugely exciting,
offering the scope to produce a range of work dedicated to the
surrounding landscape and Border towns which he so much admired and
explored, and which I also have an affinity for.’
