Not only is Gordon an accomplished portrait painter, check out the picture of Ellie left, but he also has an international reputation as a muralist. He is epecially known for his trompe l’œil murals, as juiclings may know, this is a specialized style of painting, where the artist literally ‘tricks the eye’ into believing  there is, for example, a door in a wall leading to a sun kissed landscape, when really it is the magic of the paintbrush that is creating this effect.

This talent for creating space through artistic magic, has led the artists skills to be in big demand and he frequently travels the world completing trompe l’œil mural projects for a roster of prestigious clients.

Gordon has appeared on British Television, on a number of occasions, to both discuss and demonstrate his considerable talents, checkout the youtube link above, to see him at work.
