Gavin Wood

Gavin Wood is an Art student, he is in his final year at Edinburgh university.  His first lot of work was inspired by horror movies,  he would create pictures to show the split second before anything happens. His work has no real meaning behind it,  he just wanted people to spend time with his art and admiring it for what it is. Gavin was then inspired by Andy Warhol's Do it yourself,  1962. It made him think about how "lazy " our brains are and how we make up alot of information without really seeing what is infront of us. He found interest in how colour is perceived,  Gerhard Richter's colour panel was the idea behind his next journey.  At the moment Gavin is working in the studio experiment with colours and different patterns to produce his art.  His work was completely different from what I have seen before but I liked it, it was fresh and new. I wonder where his art will go next.
