Description

Garry Brander

Garry Brander was born in Glasgow in 1983 and graduated with a BA (Hons) from the Glasgow School of Art (GSA) in 2011. Garry was a keen artist from an early age and had a fascination with building-type materials and making things. He undertook an art foundation and portfolio course including graphic design at Anniesland College at the age of 21, before gaining entry to the GSA. Garry is a likeable character who paints equally likeable and expressive landscapes with a particular focus on surreal characters, sheds and huts set against simple non-cluttered backgrounds. He adds in a typically humorous fashion “My buildings are a bit like me and perhaps all of us – they are not perfect and are at risk of falling apart at the edges.”
