Artist Statement:
‘The compelling energy of my work is a plundering of documentation, a revisiting of people or places which are half-remembered, or which remain never entirely realised.

Gilvan-Cartwright’s work is dictated by a fascination for fantasy and “dreamworlds” as much as for the act of painting itself; to engage in “the imagination and the dynamic properties of a painted reality”. Reminiscent of Fragonard, the German Romantics and Victorian fairy paintings, his work is both rigorous and playful.
He studied at Central St. Martins, Brighton University and Crakow in Poland. He won the ROSL Travel Bursary 1997. He has had four solo shows at the East West Gallery Notting Hill; was shortlisted for John Moores Art Prize twice; and exhibited at the Jerwood Drawing Prize 2004. The Times, Independent, Telegraph and BBC Radio 4 Itchy Feet, have featured his work. |

The music he listens to and the ideas, emotions and sounds expressed within them mingle with his own ideas and thought providing a soundtrack and reference to his own experiences.
