Figurative work has always been at the centre of Gary's art, and in particular an interest and connection to how the bigger issues of our lives can be reflected in the ordinary and everyday. He is interested in figure compositions and the chiaroscuro technique, (painting in black and white). Of course he also has a particular interest in all things mosaic and is currently working on exploring the medium in three dimensions. Outside of art Gary has an interest in community languages, particularly calligraphy, and has studied Arabic and Chinese.
