About

Gerald Eccles is a Contemporary Landscape Painter born in Lancashire working in the field of painting and drawing. He graduated as a Scientific Illustrator producing detailed botanical, medical and zoological illustrations.

Gerald starts with rough sketches and written notes in the field, often merging them together observing weather conditions and mood these are built into final works in the studio.

“The titles of my work reflect the thoughts behind or beside the work, rather than describing what you see thereby giving you an open page to fill with your own thoughts. A title is a starting point for you to have your own experience with the work.”

“For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right since its appearance changes at every moment; but the surrounding atmosphere brings it to life - the light and the air which very continually.”
