Gareth Edwards (b.1960) is an award winning contemporary land and seascape painter, an Academician of the Royal Academy West of England and member of the Newlyn Society of Artists. A graduate of University of London and a post graduate of Goldsmiths College of Art, London, Gareth now lives and works in St. Ives, Cornwall.

Gareth's work presents us with destinations of intrigue and wonder. Destinations that yield unconscious details of the journey that has been undertaken to reach them. His richly adorned canvases create a sensory and almost transcendental reaction to the subject and surface of his works. Both subject and surface pull us in, create questions and cross boundaries. They ask us about our own understanding of the here and now, what we see to be real and what is perceived from experience and memory.
