Mr David S Gilchrist

Being self-taught, David sees himself as very fortunate to follow his own artistic journey.

Born in 1954, David has been painting and drawing all his life and has sold works globally. He works in all mediums and subject matter which forces him to approach things with a fresh pair of eyes.

Figurative work is what David has been working on over recent months, creating some large-scale ink drawings of political landscapes. One such work is currently on show at the Royal Scottish Academy exhibition in Edinburgh. Another was shortlisted for the Scottish Landscape Awards exhibition in the City Arts Centre in Edinburgh.

His passion however is painting landscapes in oils. David aims to get back into the countryside once again to paint the beautiful Clyde Valley landscape where he lives.
