IAN PHILIP GADD

Karl is a renowned plein air painter, with no formal training. He is based on the Isle of Oxney in Kent, inspired by a wealth of coastal landmarks such as Rye and Camber Sands, to name just a few!

Recording ever-changing moments and weather patterns of the places he paints, Karl works in oils producing  both landscapes and cityscapes. His works are a response to what he sees in particular moments in life. It might be figures strolling much-loved coastlines, glistening in ever changing light patterns, or simply perusing high streets of local towns, typical scenes from our everyday existence.

Karl has exhibited widely across the globe, with a number of galleries in London, provincial towns and abroad. Karl is proud to be an associate member of The Royal Society of Marine Artists, The Wapping Group of Artists and the Rye Society of Artists. He can often be found painting with well-known and successful landscape painters of this generation.
