Living and working in London UK, Gatenby works with an approach of collectively harnessing his trained techniques of classical painting in conjunction with his interest in modern comical parodies. His paintings find themselves in the middle, between lighthearted colours and sarcastic eye contact to heavy consumeristic modern day worries and light fluffy airbrushing. The paintings ask us where we position ourselves within our consumerist lifestyle whilst allowing the viewer to acknowledge the strong nostalgia and humour ever present in Gatenby’s works.
