About
Following his hugely successful introduction to Darren Baker Gallery at the 2015 winter group exhibition, Spectrum of Colour (4 – 24 December 2015), we are delighted to announce Richard Gower’s first one-man gallery show this March.
British artist Gower (b.1982) studied at Batley College of Art in the 1980s, where he specialised in fine art and sculpture. Observation and chance is key to Gower’s practice. His self-confessed voyeuristic approach to scouting out creative inspiration – sitting in cafes and parks and people-watching – allows him to capture impressionistic, fleeting moments of strangers’ daily activities.
Throughout his career Gower has painted in a variety of styles, taking inspiration from Modern Masters; from Sickert and Monet, to Picasso and Bacon.
Darren Baker Gallery is a contemporary art space located in the heart of London’s Fitzrovia. Opened in summer 2014, the gallery serves as a creative platform for both established and emerging young artists working across a wide range of media. The gallery aims to break down the barrier between artist and collector by providing a service that is both accessible and transparent.
Darren Baker, an artist himself as well as Gallery Director, has spent the past two decades perfecting his hyperrealist technique. As part of the gallery’s commitment to support young talent, Darren’s work is shown alongside that of emerging artists. The gallery maintains a busy exhibition calendar, which includes shows developed in collaboration with charitable organisations such as The Prince’s Trust, Great Ormond Street Hospital, and Cancer Research UK.
