BIOGRAPHY:
Guy Gladwell was born in Nairobi and aged nine came to England with his family, settling in Jersey, Channel Islands. It was here that he began painting under the guidance of Sir Francis Barry and went on to study art at Bournemouth Art College. He later studied anatomy at Sir John Cass School of Art.Rapidly establishing himself as an excellent seascape artist, the ambitious young painter moved to London in 1969 where he joined the Nicholas Treadwell Gallery.In 1980 he parted ways and enjoyed a prolific period, earning commissions to paint portraits of Michael Caine and Paul Simon, demanding a private performance of Bridge Over Troubled Water from the songwriter in return.He exhibited extensively across Europe and America, with numerous appearances at the Royal Academy, establishing himself alongside contemporaries such as David Hockney, Ronald Kitaj and Keith Proctor.Away from London in Nedging Tye, Suffolk, then Aldeburgh in 1991, his career faded from its heyday of the 70s and 80s.He persevered, however, taking inspiration from the county's picturesque coastline and its eccentric characters to blend in with the local artistic fraternity, which earned him a solo exhibition at Snape Maltings.
