Biography
Who is Gary Hogben, would be artist, Middle aged English chap living in Kent, I have always been interested in art since an early age, and I started off by doing pencil sketches of animals, and progressed onto watercolours, giving these away to members of my family.
My first oil painting was done when I was 17,
the earliest painting represented on this site is a copy of
Metamorphosis of Narcissus by Salvador Dali, which I did in 1985, and
it took six weeks!
After that was done I completed numerous other paintings, mostly copies of Impressionist works.
If I liked it, I painted it.
Between 1996 and 2008 I did not paint a thing,
only taking up the paint brush, or in this case the spray can after a
visit to a street art exhibition, I thought to myself, how hard can
that be?.
So I started to experiment with stencils and spray-paint.
Progressing onto collage work, the result over the last few years is
over 150 artworks, including quite a few commissions. I have sold
internationally to America, Canada, New Zealand, Germany and Italy.
