Hillsboro Fine Art gallery artist John Gibbons in solo exhibition at Castor, London
“Gibbons’ work has an immense physical presence which exists regardless of size…. whether painted or polished, rusted, scraped or simply left alone, every inch of surface has been analysed, affirmed and consequently activated.” – Tim Marlow
“On a recent visit to Gibbons’ studio, we began to talk about Matisse. ‘Matisse is intellectual’, Gibbons said, ‘but his work is still about instinct and emotion. He applied extraordinary intelligence and focussed emotion in a very intense way. He didn’t get distracted.’ Gibbons could have been speaking of his own intentions.” – Karen Wilkin
