It can seem joyous, strange and at times terrifying. There is an African philosophy called ‘Ubuntu’, which can be translated as ‘I am because we are‘ or a ‘belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity.’ Because of this fascination I have been trying to express some of these observations and ideas through art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/91e427f7-6ed1-4701-818d-b7fa1dfdec1e/IMG_1084.JPG About I am an artist based in Scotland, interested in both realism and abstract art. I have always been an artist - it is the one constant identity I have had since childhood, whilst I’ve moved into other phases such as husband, father, grandfather, doctor, musician. Artist has always been the constant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/d3f3a92f-5771-4879-a6f9-918288ef25e4/IMG_0868.JPG About I work in both traditional mediums such as oil paints and watercolours, but have also been experimenting using non-traditional, throw away materials such as burnt matches and plastic. I am always very keen to experiment with art and to push at the boundaries, trying to find beauty in things that are not normally valued. https://www.gavinhickfordart.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-10-03 https://www.gavinhickfordart.com/the-crown-series daily 0.75 2022-04-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/21ee61ee-c783-4e4e-aa98-2477aa6f9e33/blue_crown-insta-001.jpg Crowns The Crown of Regret https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/8ab42668-5bd7-48fa-9fca-4841de05b2e0/crown_of_empathy_insta002.jpg Crowns The Crown of Empathy https://www.gavinhickfordart.com/motherboard daily 0.75 2022-04-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/52593281-dd86-4f06-b452-a8dde91d56aa/Motherboard1_003.jpg The Motherboard series Motherboard no.2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/18ecbdb2-dc50-4b02-946a-e77d6b2922b1/motherboard+2.jpg The Motherboard series https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/906ba7fc-c4d3-4930-9e4b-18cf0d50aaf1/motherboard2_inst_002.jpg The Motherboard series Motherboard no.3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/369df694-bbf9-4161-84af-a57586a0f38e/motherboard2_inst_002.jpg The Motherboard series Motherboard no.4 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/802d9fe8-87e2-4ac6-a9fd-92846b719edc/kiss_insta_004.jpg The Motherboard series The Kiss https://www.gavinhickfordart.com/the-school-series daily 0.75 2021-11-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/c9bc91d0-93a3-49b1-a622-065820005330/school1_instagram_001.jpg The School series https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/e1490b34-77a5-4f0f-8241-0013ffbb3c47/school1_instagram_002.jpg The School series https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/5bd95f74-72cc-4e02-8355-9b8fee47aed5/school1_instagram_003.jpg The School series https://www.gavinhickfordart.com/thechromosome-series daily 0.75 2021-11-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/8867be2e-3445-48fb-a5c4-729a1d1f262a/ardour-anger1-insta-003.jpg The Chromosome series https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/74a70f36-89ae-45d9-8a89-c80686271229/ardour-anger1-insta-005.jpg The Chromosome series https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/59d07464-e354-44a4-8b31-ee84a35b0471/ardour-anger1-insta-002.jpg The Chromosome series https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/98c1cffa-0b53-4555-a7a6-294c1a350e01/ardour-anger1-insta-006.jpg The Chromosome series https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/e018dfad-8125-4a57-a95e-9d8276b0a6d0/ardour-anger1-insta-001.jpg The Chromosome series https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/55ac9939-a5bf-4b95-80eb-a2dfdf9705ff/ardour-anger1-insta-004.jpg The Chromosome series https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/6c03a3ef-d645-4605-b88f-ca5b9e1ae31a/ardour-anger2-insta-004.jpg The Chromosome series https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/0f21fb2c-1ef6-4950-940c-15035a095d12/ardour-anger2-insta-001.jpg The Chromosome series https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/8f32fb17-1176-4761-ae61-c9549e74e491/ardour-anger2-insta-002.jpg The Chromosome series https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/b621d19b-6358-477f-afca-856cadaa7a90/ardour-anger2-insta-003.jpg The Chromosome series https://www.gavinhickfordart.com/crownofinspiration daily 0.75 2022-05-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/24b68fc9-80d7-4264-a78c-cd9fa02e4ebd/crownofinspiration-final1.jpg 21-crownofinspiration The Crown of Empathy https://www.gavinhickfordart.com/instrument daily 0.75 2023-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/0b8c27e1-936e-45f1-9502-faf4dc58211f/telecaster-ref6.jpg Instrument "Telecaster" - Oil on board 120cm x 52cm.

It is made using 25 wooden boxes all at slightly different angles to give a curvature to the piece. Each has been painted using oil paints then a layer of epoxy resin has been added to give it a unique shine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/37bc9ff9-70da-452e-a103-7521a1716418/iris-insta001.jpg Iris https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/22c2bc41-626b-4961-a3fd-0455bda99250/iris-insta002.jpg Iris https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/d3db7997-25e2-4c08-9652-f1b4fba69f77/iris-insta003.jpg Iris https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/51218ba3-fd4c-4af3-8f99-7c5d4fbceefb/iris-insta004.jpg Iris https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/572987db-9cc1-407a-9b3a-0a0361e49e3f/iris-insta005.jpg Iris https://www.gavinhickfordart.com/burnt daily 0.75 2023-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/7009b0dc-66dd-4ebd-a3e6-9777af54c795/burnt-scar-insta-001.jpg Burnt https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/f3b72b68-e938-41ac-8cdc-c22c1bf8a113/burnt_seed_instagram_001.jpg Burnt https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/5271bea9-2396-4872-8b6e-11e2dce4b757/burntatoll_instagram_001.jpg Burnt https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/3a5569b9-6ed7-443e-8a13-c4fe20b19ea1/burnt-chasm-insta002.jpg Burnt https://www.gavinhickfordart.com/scar daily 0.75 2023-10-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/7009b0dc-66dd-4ebd-a3e6-9777af54c795/burnt-scar-insta-001.jpg Scar - THE SCAR 60cm x 60cm Burnt Matches on board Framed, ready to hang £975 plus postage Ships in a box About the art: When I was thinking of how we become who we are, I realised that a big impact on our identity was the scars and burns we get through our lives. This piece aims to represent that idea of how trials and tribulations can shape us. As I neared the completion of the piece, it also became very personal as I saw within it the scar that I remember on my fathers chest after he had gone through heart surgery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/e6ba7632-17cd-4cf2-836b-6ad075fbb1c1/burnt-scar-insta-005.jpg Scar https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/bc57b87c-9fc2-4fa6-bd73-c7e413da7ea3/burnt-scar-insta-006.jpg Scar https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/7009b0dc-66dd-4ebd-a3e6-9777af54c795/burnt-scar-insta-001.jpg Scar https://www.gavinhickfordart.com/rickenbacker-2 daily 0.75 2023-10-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/16df7caa-3916-444d-b8a5-6fc4ffaa2c4b/full-rect.jpg Rickenbacker2 - Rickenbacker (2) 40cm x 80cm Oil on board, coated with Epoxy Resin Unframed, ready to hang. Suitable frame can be included at no extra cost £1000 plus postage About the art: I’ve always had a passion for music and I bought my AzureGlo Rickenbacker 4001 when I was 19. I’ve recorded many songs with it and it still sounds amazing. When I create these paintings I try to find a new and unusual angle and I’m really pleased with how this amazing bass looks from this angle https://www.gavinhickfordart.com/fender-jazz-1 daily 0.75 2023-10-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6041ec4a69b9ec5adb5be4f7/04d1bcf8-c1bb-4360-b747-4f9cfe9e1b18/fenderjazz-final-001.jpg Fender Jazz 1 - Fender Jazz (1) 70cm x 70cm Oil on canvas Unframed, ready to hang. £1000 plus postage About the art: I’ve always had a passion for music and I bought my Geddy Lee Signature Fender Jazz a few years ago.
