Oil on Board
Terence Gilbert pictures the traditional combination of Guinness and Oysters in his atmospheric still life painting. The origins of Guinness and Oysters stretch back to 18th Century Ireland and the port-dwelling workers of the UK who used to commonly eat the meal as a great source of nourishment.
Terence Gilbert, trained at Camberwell Art School. Following a career in illustration, he went on to become the wonderful equestrian and cityscape artist we know today.
A native Londoner, he has a deep passion for cityscapes, especially London’s landmarks like Battersea Power Station and St. Paul’s Cathedral. His artwork captures the essence of urban life, extending to the streets of New York, Parisian views, and Venetian architecture, often painted in situ before translating them into oils. In addition to cityscapes, Gilbert is renowned for equestrian portraits, painting famous racehorses and sports figures. His notable commissions include portraits of HM The Queen with President Reagan, and HM King Hussein of Jordan. Exhibited globally, Gilbert’s work continues to be in high demand.
Originally represented by W.H. Patterson in London, we continue to work with Terrence Gilbert to this day.
