Colin Gibson

Colin Gibson was a graphic designer born in Belfast in 1948. Gibson worked with the Belfast Telegraph before he decided to go professional at the age of twenty-six. His first solo exhibition was held at the Nelson Bell Gallery in 1968. Gibson’s work has travelled to places as far as Canada, America and Australia and can be easily recognised for its true depiction of Ireland. His paintings are all painted ‘en plein air’ which create a realistic atmosphere for the viewer.
