Gordon Close Beacon Hill, 2020 Mixed Media on Paper Signed verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) Gordon Close trained as a sculptor and his work, which is now predominantly paintings and drawings, has originated from the working drawings he made for life-sized figure compositions; sculptures that were fashioned from traditional materials referring to, and making heavy use of, classical imagery. Now the drawings and paintings are of a world that embraces the domestic and everyday as well as historic (personal and in the wider sense), folklore and myth. Narratives inhabiting a familiar timeless interior or pastoral landscape often contain subtle references to the earlier sculptures. 1978-1982, BA Fine Art (Hons) Sunderland Polytechnic College of Art & Design. Gordon Close received Northern Arts Awards in 1983, 1984 and 1986. He taught at Sunderland University College of Art & Design from 1993 to 1999 and has exhibited at: Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, Mall Galleries, Aspex Gallery, Portsmouth; Yorkshire Sculpture Park; Broadgate Arena, London; Queen's Hall, Hexham; Blackheath Gallery, London; Sally Hunter Fine Art, London.
