Hyperrealistic silverpoint art by Gordon Hanley
Born in 1954, Gordon Hanley is a talented British self-taught artist. At the age of 16 his family moved to Australia, where he began exhibiting his drawings and paintings. Fortunately, his first solo exhibition of 33 paintings was a great success. He managed to sell all art works for one day. Meanwhile, Gordon has become interested in silverpoint art, drawing in pure silver metal. Traditional in the Renaissance, Medieval scribes on manuscripts first used silver point art. Noteworthy, Hanley creates highly realistic images in pure silver and 24ct gold. Beautiful paintings created by the artist decorate many public, private and corporate collections throughout Australia and overseas.
