Douglas Gray RSMA Thompson’s Gallery are proud to present the latest paintings by Douglas Gray RSMA and welcome the artist for his first solo exhibition with the gallery. Douglas Gray RSMA was born in Harrogate in 1965. He began his professional artistic career in the study of illustration, enjoying significant success over a 20 year period with clients including Saatchi and Saatchi, Warner Brothers and Universal Studios. Preferring to concentrate on oil painting Gray now specialises in marine and contemporary cityscapes. In 2013 he was elected full member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists (RSMA) and has won the prestigious Winsor & Newton “Best Oil Painting” award 2011 and Rusell & Chapple award 2012 and 2013. His skill for reflection and movement on water recently attracted a commission from the iconic Savoy Hotel in London, where his painting is now on permanent display. Gray’s work is heralded for its unique ability to align vision, thought and emotion through a combination of both direct and loose brushstrokes. Gray has regularly exhibited with the Royal Society of Marine Artists (RSMA) and has a comprehensive biography of both solo and group exhibitions. Collectors of Gray’s work include The Right Honourable William Hague, George Davis, Lord Derwent, the Howard de Walden family and The Savoy Hotel (‘Fairmont Group’). 2
