PLEASE NOTE that although Buscot Park is near Faringdon, and geographically located in the south-west of the Artweeks region, this exhibition is only on display during the first week of the Artweeks event, 4th -12th May 2024, and not the final week associated with the South region.
Entrance to the art exhibition is free, as with all Artweeks venues, but National Trust entry fees apply should you wish to visit the house and the wider grounds.
Gillian Cox is a well travelled linguist and practising artist, who has lived in Spain, Switzerland, & Scotland. She moved to the Cotswolds in 2002.
Gillian’s painting method is strong, impressionistic and lively.
She works in oils on primed canvas parchment, and wooden panels.
Her colour palette is limited, usually to 5 or 6 oil colours, plus titanium white, which gives her work harmony.
And she favours Old Holland, Michael Harding and the American Gamblin oil paint brands.
Her brushmarks are rapid and the paint is applied as heavily as possible from one stroke. Although she does not use a palette knife, her impasto mark making is as intense.
She paints from life, and “sur le motif”.
Gillian uses wet on wet layering.
