Xavier Pick

The Artist

Contemporary Manchester Artist, Xavier Pick trained at Glasgow School of Art and the Royal College of Art in London. For the last 10 years the artist has developed an approach to drawing and painting which combines journalism with documentary illustration.

He produces most of his work on site, not in a studio, trying to capture the spirit and atmosphere of a place. Carrying a tool box with materials and various drawing boards he has developed a variety of mark-making techniques as each situation determines the use of materials and colour.

Timescale, the weather and mood all effect how the painting turns out and what concerns the artist the most is to produce drawings and paintings of what it was like being there at that time.

His work has taken him to diverse situations ranging from Bosnia to Beirut.

He has now based himself in Manchester where is working on a large project producing paintings about the North of England. He owns a small private gallery which is open by appointment only.
