Influences
include James Robertson, Duncan Shanks (tutors at G.S.A.), Joan Eardley
and Willem de Kooning . Their bold, gestural brushstrokes and love of
explosive colour is evident in Gordon Mackie’s painterly approach.
Particularly fascinated by the coastline of N.E. Scotland, striking views
in different weather conditions and seasons appear repeatedly in his work.
The paintings of Gordon R. Mackie are held in private collections throughout
the world. He has exhibited in the R.G.I., R.S.A. and S.S.A, and was an art adviser for Grampian Hospitals Art Trust.
