Gerry Baptist Artist Biography


Gerry Baptist images aren’t about the simple act of looking at something that we will either like or dislike; the artist would like us to give a little more than that. His pictures have an agenda, but they are not telling us what to think. They are inviting us into a conversation, and providing food for thought.

The new works are not ‘drawn’ as we would expect. Gerry has not smoothed over his figures or the important questions they raise; the sharp edges have been kept precisely because we ‘catch’ on them; they force us to linger and to look closer.

The titles help us to navigate through the graffiti-inspired naivety of the graphics and the bold contrasting colours. They are also Gerry’s comment on modern life, a comment asking for a response. Gerry’s perspective is not one formulated in an ivory tower. His suggestions are uncomfortable because they implicate us; they see clearly the contradictions of our consumer society. However Gerry is not afraid to turn this clarity on his own image and look in the mirror, seeing the artist who continually produces more canvases, more prints: enough to fill a gallery.

Gerry has been exhibiting for a number of years both in the UK and abroad. His work is in collections at the Ashmolean, Oxford, The Bank of England and Guildford Council. He was elected as an associate member of the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers in 2008.
