Stephen Gillberry
Stephen’s travels and studies around the world have had considerable influence on his work. As well as attending the Ontario College of Art, Stephen studied various art forms during his travels throughout Asia, India, China and South America. These cultures play an integral part in his work, from his distinctive use of colour and texture to the ideas and concepts behind his work.
Working in both abstract and impressionistic styles, Stephen strives to convey aspects of beauty and spirituality he encountered. Impressionistically, he has developed a unique style working with trees and figures that have qualities of simplicity and timelessness. His abstract work captures the harmonious balance of colour and form without carrying the associations of subject matter, leaving the viewer free to bring their own perceptions to the paintings.
Each piece is original, painted on canvas or acid free paper. His work has been widely shown and well represented in galleries and corporate collections.
