About Gordon T.

I'm Canadian born now residing in Malaysia. I've been working professionally as a freelance artist since the 1980's … time flies.

I’ve travelled extensively over the years and you’ll see that people, places and cultures are a recurring theme in my art, as are figure studies, orchids and nature. My love of tropical vistas is also reflected in the bright colours used. I work mainly with acrylic colours on paper, also handmade parchment papers. Over time I’ve gone from representational to bold expression. Then there's book illustration, portrait, comic strip, graphite sketch and caricature. I like to work with many projects at once, it helps me to focus on the art rather than on my emotions. My concern is with movement, expressive brush, and finally a composition balanced onto itself. For me, that’s when a project is completed and that’s the message I share.

Since 1980 I’ve exhibited my paintings in Vancouver, Canada, Bangkok, Singapore & Malaysia, places where I’ve resided. Now my health is not what it once was... my works can be viewed on online galleries … which allows me less interruptions to my creative time.

So follow my brush work and hopefully you’ll find that special painting meant just for you.
