About Gordon Render

 
 
  • Biography

    Worked as photographer then moved to cinematography.  Spent many years shooting many different things ranging from feature films and television to commercials and corporate videos.  I also spent time writing for the screen and television.  I had loads of failures and a good few successes - that is the nature of the screenwriting 'beast'.  

    About eight years ago, I realised that my last painting exhibition was in 1976 in Cape Town and that I hadn't made a picture of any description since!  I decided to do something about that and picked up where I'd left off.

    I have been making art again since then...

    Recently I have spent time interpreting my reactions to photographs that have meant a lot to me.  Many of these photographs are truly iconic images - images that have become part of of our cultural heritage. Others are images by photographers who have affected the way I look at the world - photographic artists who I admire and to whom I owe a tremendous amount of gratitude for their ability to look at, and capture, things in a way that informs and enlightens me and anyone else who sees their work.
