Ged Quinn was born in 1963 in Liverpool, UK. In the 1980s and 90s, Quinn studied at the Ruskin School of Drawing, Oxford, UK; Slade School of Fine Art, London, UK; Kunstakademie, Düsseldorf, Germany; and Rijksakademie, Amsterdam, the Netherlands. He now lives and works in Cornwall, UK.

Pearl Lam Galleries, Hong Kong host a solo exhibition by Ged Quinn , titled ‘Rose, Cherry, Iron Rust, Flamingo’, from May 26 through July 8, 2017.

This show features a series of new landscape, seascape, still life, and flower paintings presented together with a few portrait paintings from the past. Quinn is known for his multi-layered landscape paintings that incorporate art historical subjects and the use of trompe l’oeil to challenge the idea of painting. In this exhibition, the artist alludes to the use of concrete images to create an abstract concept and explores the different expository potentials of image making central to our reading of painting itself.

The exhibition will be on view at Pearl Lam Galleries, 6/F, Pedder Building, 12 Pedder Street, Central, Hong Kong.
