Scottish painter Gwen Hardie lives and works in New York City. After graduating from Edinburgh College of Art in 1984, she was awarded a DAAD scholarship to study with Georg Baselitz in Berlin. Hardie moved to London in 1990 and NYC in 2000, where she lives and works.
Hardie sees the canvas as an object, painting into its shape and transforming the flat square into a three dimensional illusion. Balancing one color against another as if under magnification, she blends seamless gradients of tone and saturation between them, to present a radiant foreground that hovers and glows. She takes inspiration from color, light and shadow in nature - in particular how warm and cool colours interact to create varying depths of field.
Hardie's work is in private and public collections such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the British Council, London, and the Calouste Gulbenkian Modern Collection, Lisbon.
