YELLOW PROFILE

Dr. Glover is a painter who has found a style of his own which is instantly recognizable, working in oils on canvas with the palette knife. His forte is colour, colour applied liberally, colours in juxtaposition, colours from which leap the images he creates. He has concentrated on marketscapes, townscapes, forestscapes - and his distinctive paintings are found in public and private collections worldwide. ON DR.

The British critic Errol Lloyd describes his paintings as being "reminiscent of Seurat's 'pointillist' technique in which an image is meticulously built up by a series of carefully considered dots of specific hues. With Glover, however, the process is more random and joyous and the colours more primary; and the dots nearer to daubs. And whereas Seurat achieved in his pictures a sense of stillness and timelessness, Glover's paintings bustle with movement and vitality.
