Glenn Girard Gordon - Artist Provenance
Glenn Girard Gordon is an American Artist with over 50 years of provenance in places such as Malibu California, Aspen Colorado, Fairfax Virginia and Hannibal Missouri.
Glenn was born on Sept. 29th 1963 in Washington DC. He began his artistic development at the age of 6 using watercolors, then turned to acrylics and in 2000 switched to oils. He started with representational subject matter using traditional techniques, gradually evolving into modern abstract over the course of his nearly five decades of work.
He's been studying since he was 10 years old when his mother bought him a large collection of Art Books on the Masters. He drew so much as a kid that he got blood poisoning in the fingers twice! He spent his childhood traveling all over the world with his family...painting, drawing and sculpting. His family lived in DC, Virginia, Australia and Iran where his art was inspired and always evolving. He worked as an apprentice under the artist Jane Hermanson from the ages of 11-15 where he learned how to setup Art Shows and display Framed Art, and sold his 1st piece of art at the age of 12. At the age of 15 Glenn won the Northern Virginia Sate Art Show in the adult division. He has gained recognition through various juried contests and won numerous 1st Place Art Awards throughout the United States.
In his adult life he continued his travels all over the world and lived in South America, Germany and Indonesia. His art reflects his real-life experiences and his inner spiritual journey.
His spiritual enlightenment at the age of 24 also took his art from a darker perspective to vibrant, colorful transitions...a kaleidoscope of kinetic energy with a visual psychology of movement.
His lifetime influencers range from El Greco to Winslow Homer, from Salvatore Dali to Henri Matisse. From Renaissance, Impressionism to Modern Abstract.
His innovative vision and commitment to lifelong learning have made his art highly sought after by private collectors across the US including LA, NY and Chicago.
Central to his work is the exploration of dimension and light creating an atmosphere of depth. He carefully orchestrates how composition, color choices and texture interact with each other to create paintings that define his unique artistic voice. All while combining abstract and realism with explosive color creations. His technique ranges from gestural, expressive brushstrokes to tightly controlled precision—all contributing to the artwork's depth and complexity.
His art unfolds and reveals new details with each viewing, engaging the viewer in an ongoing, compelling experience.
His state of spiritual bliss is reflected in his works. He uses all of his senses in every piece...sight, touch, scent and sound. And he credits the spirit working though him. He paints for God.
