Gwyther Irwin

Born May 7th 1931, Hamshire, England.

Gwyther Irwin was a british abstract artist who lived much of his life in Cornwall.
His most famous works consisted of pictures assembled from newsprint and fragments of advertisements on paper, which he collected from the street. He then worked these up into a collage of fine delicacy and quite subtle shades. In some of his later work he also used string, wood shavings, chalk and paint.
