BIOGRAPHY

Gerard Stamp (born 1955) lives and works in Norfolk. He went to school under the shadow of Norwich Cathedral, where he developed a compulsion to draw and paint architecture. After Art College Gerard followed a multi award winning career as an art director in London’s Design and Advertising industry before focusing full time on painting in 2002. 

​

Using light, atmosphere and detail Gerard strives to convey the feeling of a place, and what Ruskin called the “golden stain of time”. He has had multiple exhibitions in Norfolk and London including Spirits in Stone (a series of architectural portraits), Twelve Churches (celebrating the Churches Conservation Trust’s 40th anniversary), and Conquest at Norwich Castle (alongside paintings by his artist hero, John Sell Cotman). He has also staged exhibitions in several English Cathedrals including York Minster, Norwich, Exeter, and Ely. He is represented in public collections at Norwich Castle Art Gallery and East Contemporary Art (UCS). His work is in private collections around the World include those of Dame Judi Dench, the Duke of Bedford, and the Royal Collection.

Gerard has used his success to raise over £60,000 for charities, including the East Anglian Air Ambulance and East Anglian Children's Hospice.
