2019 CV.Qxp New CV 6/03 drGaryostle curriculum vitae : profile Drostle Public Arts Ltd Studio B – The Lakeside Centre Bazalgette Way London, SE2 9AN. United Kingdom WEB: www.drostle.com EMAIL: [email protected] artists statement MOB: +44 771 952 952 0 This simple hand print logo can be seen as lying at the core of my artistic vision, it’s origin is perhaps human kinds most ancient creative expression and can be seen in cave paintings over 50,000 years old, the signature of the first mural artists. Of course it’s not a print, rather the impression left after the hand has been removed and as such symbolises the marks left on the environment by people now departed. To me this is a profoundly democratic view of art for all, on the street, enhancing and changing our environment, interacting with people, landscape and architecture reflecting a sense of place through the expression of our history and humanity, it is this that inspires me. My practice concentrates on working in large scale painted murals, mosaics for floors and walls and mosaic sculptures. In developing this work I draw on the specific site, its history and stories, its architecture and landscape and its community and users to create works which are specific to each site, enduring and beautiful. My experience includes working with other artists, council officers, architects, landscapers, interior designers, planners, engineers and contractors and I have worked extensively with a wide variety of community groups at every level of the creative process.

    mosaic... morethanthe sum of it’s parts fine hand crafted bespoke mosaic art... drostleGary art for landscape & architecture 40 Strand House Merbury Close London SE28 0LU United Kingdom TEL: +44 (0)20 8316 7734 E-MAIL: [email protected] MOB: +44 771 952 952 0 the ancient art The ancient art of mosaic dates back to the earliest civilisations in Mesopotamia some 5000 years ago and reached great heights during the Roman Empire and then again in the Byzantine era. Today there is a new resur- gence in the art fuelled by our desire to create new and exciting environments and the demand for high quality and high performance finishes. Modern mosaics offer us the chance to inject individ- ual character, project style and commitment to quality, and bring our spaces to life. The range of applications for cre- ative mosaics is huge. As well as creating beautiful floors for interior and exterior sites, mosaic can be used on walls, ceil- ings and three dimensional sculptures. The organic nature of hand cut mosaic means it can take up any shape and to any scale. Mosaic brings year round colour that will not fade, it is tough, frost proof, abrasion and chemical resistant. about the artist Gary Drostle is at the forefront of this new wave in mosaic art winning international recognition for his work. Born in Woolwich, in South East London Gary studied fine art at Camberwell, St Martin's and Middlesex (Hornsey) colleges of art. SInce 1987 Gary has been working profes- sionally as a mural and mosaic artist and has undertaken many major public commissions in the UK and abroad.
