Gary Stinton
Siberian Tiger
Painting professionally since 1984, Gary Stinton is one of the most acclaimed young members of the new generation of wildlife artists. Born and brought up in Hereford, he took a keen interest in art and nature as soon as he could walk, sculpting and drawing and collecting insects in jars before he was old enough even to leave his garden. He works now almost exclusively in pastel, believing pastel to be the purest medium. "Pastel also has a greater longevity than oil", Gary Stinton believes. "With pastels, you are working with a pure pigment with very little binder, and you want to get the stroke right first time. There is layering, but it is very subtle. The cave paintings which survive today are 20,000 years old. They have survived, and they are pastel." Always inspired by wildlife, he describes his artwork as "attempting to live". "I've always been drawn to the natural world. Everything goes back to that. Everything else is detail". Specifically, he aims to encapsulate emotion in his paintings but not sentiment. Gary Stinton is married, with two young children. He remains a country-lover at heart but this young artist's work has already been exhibited at several prestigious one-man shows in London.Limited Edition Gouttelette on canvas.
