Godfrey Talbot
Born in Wigan Lancashire in 1945 GODFREY TALBOT began painting in the early 1960’s. Sixty years later, he continues to create works in his unique “muscular” style.
For several decades he worked as Arts Officer and Curator at the Turnpike Gallery in Greater Manchester carrying on the fine work of Tony Knipe, a gifted artist and administrator. GODFREY developed the Turnpike into a favoured venue for many of the U.K.’s premier contemporary artists and sculptors. Amongst the hundred or so artists were such worldwide icons as Henry Moore, L.S. Lowry, Bridget Riley, Sir Howard Hodgkin, Boyd & Evans, Richard Hamilton, Michael Craig-Martin and Scottish artists Ian Hamilton Finlay and Eduardo Paolozzi.
Health issues eventually led to his retirement. Moving to Scotland some 17 years ago, he picked up the brushes once more, and worked daily on a large variety of projects.
His current small exhibition, Bethink Yourself, at the CASCADE INSTITUTE in Coupar Angus represents the first of a series of rolling exhibitions opening on Tuesday 2nd January 2023, 11am-2pm (with a preview with wine and nibbles on the previous evening). Godfrey has work in private collections in Lancashire, Wales and Scotland. He is represented in several Picture Loan Schemes.
