Todd Garner is an artist who crosses the Atlantic and represents the strong creative connection between the USA and Scotland.
Born in Pasadena in California, he took up a position as artist in residence at Edinburgh College of Art in1989, has been a practicing artist in Glasgow ever since, and is now an art tutor at the University of Strathclyde.
His work has arrived in London and is now on display through the Corrymella Scott Gallery in Mayfair, strongly influenced by both Edward Hopper and Jack Vettriano, with evocative images from decades ago in both the USA and Glasgow. As you look at the long lonely individuals in many of these paintings, you are left wondering what they are thinking and what they are going to do next.
