| GERRY DUDGEON |
| Born in Darjeeling, India in 1952, he gained a First Class Honours degree in Fine Art from Camberwell School of Art in 1979, and a postgraduate MFA degree from Reading University in 1981. After winning a travelling scholarship to New York from the Slade School of Art, he rented studios in London, before moving to the west country in 1987. From his studio, Gerry works in acrylic on canvas, using memory and sketchbook research to evoke the feeling of these places he has visited. The Dorset paintings explore links between ancient fossil forms in the landscape and the contours of the hills and valleys of West Dorset. Colour is partly derived from the lush green pastures of West Dorset, but also from the earth and limestone rocks, varying from iron-rich oranges and reds through to the blue-greys of the lias beds. Travelling alone through the Atlas mountains of Morocco, he absorbs the atmosphere of the culture – the colours, smells and sounds, and above all the quality of light. He now exhibits widely in southern England, in London and recently in Kuwait and Nantucket, USA. His paintings are held in UK and foreign corporate collections.
