Hong Kong and China Artist
About Giles Dawe
Giles is an English artist living in Zhuhai, China. Born in Bristol / England in 1977, he began painting at an early age and has studied painting and sculpture extensively in France and Cardiff under the famous UK landscape painter Terry Setch and is inspired by surreal painters such as de Chirico, Dali and Magritte.
Since 2003, he has lived in Hong Kong and China and is looking to build a reputation in Hong Kong and beyond. He also runs the successful web company Misohoni.
My next exhibition called "Beautiful Melancholy", showing a selection of my paintings on wood will be from 26 June to 12 July 2010 at:
Gallery by the Harbour,
Level 2, Ocean Center, Harbour City,
Canton Road,
T.S.T., Kowloon, Hong Kong
As an artist, he has taken part in the UK Bienalle, won an Erasmus art scholarship and recent work has been purchased by HK Art Director Wang Jia Wei. Contact me here. ( RSS Feed)
