THE GLASGOW GALLERY
Telling Stories is an incredible exhibition showcasing over 30 acrylic paintings inspired by Todd’s fascination with the golden age of cinema and the continually changing narrative of human interactions.
Each painting works as a still frame embodying Todd’s retro-romantic style. In this work he embraces and continues the atmospheric quality of Ciné Noir found in his art-inspiration, Edward Hopper’s work.
Although Todd’s work is largely figurative, there is great attention to detail and a representation of Art Deco architecture.
Out of the many places Todd has travelled, he has sought out Art Deco buildings. You may recognise some of the scenes depicted as they are located not far from The Glasgow Gallery.
His work is a wonderful blend of tales that incorporate the sitters' stories with the venue’s history. There is a slight auto-biographical element as he and his wife can be seen painted into scenes that they have both visited, including the RMS Queen Mary where they married.
The Glasgow Gallery is an independent contemporary art gallery on Bath Street in the centre of Glasgow. With over 20 years in the contemporary art sector, the concept of creating a comfortable, approachable and inviting gallery led us to open our doors in 2017.
Our aim is to bring together original artwork from recognised leading artists to exciting emerging talent at various price points in a relaxing setting. We specialise in exhibiting the best of Scottish contemporary painting through solo, featured and mixed exhibitions alongside a stunning range of contemporary applied arts including ceramics, glass, jewellery and sculpture.
Whether you are looking for your first piece of art to start your collection, or the perfect gift for a loved one, or if you simply love to browse, we'd love to welcome you to the Gallery to view works by our talented artists and makers.
If you're looking for something different or are confident with what you like, we are happy to help or guide you. We offer an interest free payment scheme via Own Art which makes buying contemporary art and craft easier and more affordable.
Telling Stories, a Solo Exhibition by Todd Garner runs from 16th March to 6th April

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
