About The Artist

I am Gavin Mundy, a visual artist living and working in Surrey (United Kingdom). I was a prolific drawer in childhood and deviated into graphic design before embracing the pleasures of fine art. I use traditional techniques alongside modern acrylic paints for most of my art.
Viewers of my art are invited to appreciate and enjoy the subject of the painting rather than the technique.
Another aspect of painting that I enjoy is the learning. Be it capturing an effect in paint, or something about the subject itself.
Light, texture and pattern are another focus of interest, consequently the subject I paint can be of secondary importance to me and perhaps the reason for such a varied body of work.

My work has been exhibited in the Mall Galleries London, and other locations around the UK, France and America. My paintings also hang on the walls of private buyers from around the UK and other parts of the world and I have successfully completed numerous commissions for clients in the UK and overseas.

I am a member of the IAAA (see LINKS) and the League of Animal Artists, DRN, Worple Art Group, Croydon Art Society and Southwark Arts Forum. I have also been a director of a small London art gallery. Some of my Space Art has been exhibited around the world from Manchester Museum Of Science and Industry to NASA in the USA. I have also held local exhibitions and been involved in an artistic capacity with some local community work and conducted private art tuition.

Some of my time is also spent working with autistic children, I find some aspects of the condition are shared with the artists 'way of seeing' the world. It is also a good environment to exercise my drawing skills as I frequently employ them to entertain and also communicate ideas to the youngsters.
