Explore how Gavin Mitchell hand embellishes his works using a variety of techniques including gold leaf which he carefully applies and then polishes to add wonderful textures to the works he has captured through photography and other techniques.

Right now I am... excited to be back in my studio after lockdown.. working on getting my mojo back

At the moment I am working on… taking off the dustsheets and re-promoting my Solo Show which started one-week before lockdown. I have taken the opportunity to shoot video & photographs of the show to create in a virtual tour/gallery.  I think this is becoming the norm for promoting /showing work alongside physical shows & art fairs.

Over the course of lockdown, I have challenged myself to… tidy up my digital artwork files on my hard drive so that I have a comprehensive catalogue of my finished work.. I have had to work through 3TB of what is effectively a digital scrapbook.. I am still only half way through!

My biggest mistake this year was…laughing at a friend who bought 100 facemasks at the beginning of March.

We recently spoke with artist and photographer Gavin Mitchell on the occasion of his exhibition 'This Was Then, This is Now' which you can explore on our website.

Gavin's work explores the juxtaposition and clash of cultures from a variety of different eras, most recently in his collection, ‘East Meets West’, which is featured in this exhibition.
