Kloosterboer on Gorman
<p>After a long and successful career as an advertising art director, Gorman closed his business in 2013 to paint fulltime. He didn’t come to the artworld as an utter novice; Gorman dabbled in painting before, has been an avid art collector since his late twenties, and brings with him decades’ worth of design sense. However, it typically takes many years for an artist to go from beginner to serious professional. It takes time and experience to hone technical skills, develop a personal style, and to find one’s artistic direction and preferred subject matter. So to me it’s been fascinating to witness how Gorman’s artistic journey has evolved on a condensed high-speed trajectory. In the span of just ten years he not only found his voice but also developed remarkable skill, and most importantly, a fascinating and poignant visual language that is entirely his own.</p>
