Gordon Breckenridge Annual London Exhibition.
Gordon Breckenridge, one of Tuscany's best loved
contemporary artists, is in London to exhibit a
collection of his paintings opening on the 16th Oct
2011 (Private Viewing). Presented by Tuscan Style
at The Air Gallery, 32 Dover Street, London, the
collection titled "Pure Tuscany" includes 40+ of his
works depicting the warmth of Tuscany with his
characteristic bold use of strong colours to capture
the atmosphere and feeling.
Born in Canada in 1948 where he lived the first 24
years of his life, Gordon Breckenridge moved to
Florence where he graduated from the Academy of
Fine Arts and subsequently studied charcoal drawing
and painting with the renowned artist Nerina Simi.
These 9 years of classical training provided the
foundation from which Gordon went on to develop
his own unique, personal style.
After years of travelling continually painting mostly in the Cinque
Terre and Portofino with exhibitions there, and also, in Canada,
America and Europe, in 1991 Gordon, together with his Italian wife
and 4 children moved to San Gimignano, Tuscany, where he
opened his own Art Gallery.
He is the recipient of many honours including two “Greenshield
awards” and his paintings are to be found in over 500 collections
worldwide earning him international recognition and appreciation.
Today this successful gallery is still family run and the artist
continues to produce some of the finest of Tuscany's works.
