Gordon Mitchell is a prolific painter and sometime sculptor. He studied at Edinburgh College of Art from 1970 to 1974 and then pursued a career in teaching art until 1989 when he became a full time professional artist. Since then he has been a tireless producer of many fine works of art.
Not Surrealist nor Expressionist but a unique blend of the two. Above all he expresses himself; his opinions and preferences, his strict self discipline and his quirky sense of humour. They all manifest themselves in the completed works. Gordon starts from a highly developed and experienced intellectual base, imbues his ideas and thoughts with personal emotional attributes and then has the skill of immaculate draughtsmanship to render the finished article.
