Mr David S Gilchrist

I’ve been painting and drawing for as long as I can remember, and I work in all mediums. My preference is to paint in oils en plein air, close to where I live.  I’ve had very little formal training so would consider myself as being self-taught. My work is an eclectic mix of disciplines and I’ve had a number of one man shows in the past. I don’t stick to one subject or medium but tend to jump from one to another. At the start of 2020 I was scheduled to exhibit a collection of landscapes of the river Clyde in Glasgow. This was to be my first one man exhibition for some time, but along came lockdown. During that time I completed a number of figurative paintings from sketches and drawings. For thirteen years I tutored at the Wishaw Art Group on a part time basis but decided to withdraw from this in order to concentrate on my own work going forward. I intend to carry on with the figurative work, but have plans to get back out into the fields once again with mediums not used for a while.
