Biography

Gutteridge was born in West Bromwich, England in 1954 and arrived in Australia in 1965.[1] He studied painting at the South Australian School of Art (now University of South Australia), and then worked as an illustrator, primarily of insects, for the South Australian Museum (1976-1979).[2] In 1979, he received a travel grant from the Australia Council and a scholarship from the New York Studio School and, in 1992, thanks to another award, he studied at the Atelier Artistique Internationale des Artes in France.[3] In 2011, he was awarded the Malaysia-Australia Visual Arts Residency, based at Rimbun Dahan.[4][5] In 2016, he opened the Rob Gutteridge School of Classical Realism to teach classical realist techniques.[6]

Artistic style and subject

Gutteridge’s paintings and drawings have a strong focus on the human body and on clouds, using classical realist techniques.[7] His work has been described as displaying “a keen appreciation of anatomy, structure and form”.[8] He also practices and teaches écorché.[9]

Awards and Prizes

In 2016, he received a Highly Commended for a work in Monochrome award from the Society of Graphic Fine Art.[10][11]
