Carole Gibbons

The first monograph on the work of painter Carole Gibbons (b. 1935), one of the most distinctive and imaginative artists to have come out of Glasgow in the latter half of the 20th century. Her paintings burst with colour, hinting at narratives of both darkness and light. Rich in symbolism and narrative, the works fuse art–historical and mythological motifs with Gibbons' own lived experience, offering insights into a passionate and deeply–felt inner life.
