Gerald Laing
b. 1936 - 2011
Newcastle, England 
Gerald Laing, a trailblazing figure in the original Pop Art movement, harnessed the imagery of mass-produced media in post-war America to create his iconic works. His art, deeply rooted in screenprinting, featured bold, flat colors juxtaposed with enlarged, half-toned dot patterns, often depicting iconic symbols like bikini-clad women, hot-rods, and skydivers. Born in 1936 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Laing's rise in the British Pop Art scene began in 1962, and by 1965, he had relocated to New York, aligning himself with American Pop Art luminaries like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. Over the years, his artistic journey led him from painting to sculpture, with a notable retrospective at the Fruitmarket Gallery in 1993. Laing's later works included powerful anti-war paintings and portraits of cultural icons like Amy Winehouse and Kate Moss, reflecting his characteristic simplification of form. Since his passing in 2011, Laing's legacy endures, with his art prominently featured in global public and private collections and major exhibitions dedicated to British Pop Art.
