Gavin Mayhew

I am an artist that loves life and I try to show all aspects of life through my artwork - from the humorous to the dark side. Presently my work depicts the energy and movement of people in various walks of life including dance and sport. I have exhibited world wide and in September, 2011, I exhibited in an international exhibition in Brussels. In September 2012, I exhibited in another international expo in Germany ('5elements') that included new works and performances'
The summer of 2014, sees my largest exhibition so far. It will be a collaboration between myself and the German artist Dieter Löchle, at the Hartlepool Art Gallery.
