GORDON KING
Gordon King worked as a commercial illustrator in
his formative years whilst studying life drawing and painting at Reading University. In
his early 20's he worked as a freelancer for major magazines and advertising agencies,
gradually building up the commision side of his work by painting portraits and exhibiting
his work until in the mid 1970's he gave up illustration work altogether to enable him to
concentrate full-time on his paintings which at that time were predominantly in oils.
His paintings of girls in natural surroundings soon became his trademark and the
popularity of the watercolours in the early 80's together with the success of his prints
gave his career a big boost.
