Artwork by Clayton Gibson

Artist profile: Clayton Gibson

I am originally from Gisborne but now living in Te Awanga, Hawke's Bay.  Since moving to the Hawke's Bay, I have exhibited my work in Art Feast, and in the Norsewear Art Awards, the Wildflower Sculpture Exhibition and at the Community Art Centre in Hastings.

My work can be found exhibited in the Quay Gallery in Napier and I currently have a sculpture selected for the Hawke’s Bay Art Review 2019.  I work predominately as a sculptor, using recycled totara posts to form the basis of most of my work. For this exhibition however, I have put aside my chisels and have directed my energies into painting.

Most of the paintings displayed, are painted in oils on paper and reflect my feelings of wonder, experienced when I see a kina shell washed up on the beach.
