Artist Profile: Glenn Goring

I just launched a website for a brilliant UK artist and musician today: Glenn Goring. Glenn is the guitarist with cult 60s acid folk band Comus, whose website I also created.

Glenn is also a professional artist and will be showing some of his work along with five other local UK artists on Friday 19th to Friday 26th of September at The United Reform Church, Princes Street, Norwich NR3 1AZ; 10 AM to 4 PM. Please click on the below image to enlarge flyer.



According to Glenn's bio:

Glenn’s creative art is concerned mainly in trying to re-define the familiar. He takes an everyday object and works out a way of making it surprising so that you have to look at it several times and ask yourself questions about its identity. He attempts to strip subjects of their accepted meaning so they appear to belong to a kind of alternative reality. For Glenn theatre props and objects placed in a theatrical setting also radiate a similar atmosphere, which he strives to inject into his work.

Glenn also finds the medium of plaster a fascinating and versatile material. With the addition of colour, he can achieve startling, abstract results. It can also be sculpted, cast, and made to appear like cracked rock. The bowls are a practical solution to displaying the beauty of the material’s decorative qualities.

Presently Glenn is working on a series of paintings depicting insects, animals or other visual ‘events’ discovered in unexpected settings.
