the images i create are composed out of the detritus of our collective memory of the last hundred years…of the joy, pain, ruin, discontent, fear, and hope we all carry with us. i construct these digital composites using elements at once familiar and dreamlike to arrive at a state that feels half-glimpsed, half-remembered.
beauty and desire are a common thread in my work; as is the keenly felt longing for emotional connection. the need to feel that we belong to something or someone is primal, and yet we often live lives apart and disconnected. this tension is one I find myself drawn to explore frequently. most of my work is imbued with this longing.
i work in this medium because i need a place to explore, explain and expand on how i experience life… as an overwhelming wave of sensory input, external and internal, dissonance and harmony, thrash and purity… filtered, dismembered, remembered and spun into a unique pastiche by our own souls. in all of my work i cross and blur those artificial boundaries we build between waking and dreaming, thought and emotion, sensuality and intellect. somewhere there on that continuum is the sweet spot, balanced precariously, but still attainable.

"I'd love to dream his pictures. The delicious darkness, the beautiful light, the frightening blur, the contradictory feelings. Open door to imagination."

"This should have been writen ages ago.
To make a long story short...
Visualy, Gideon's work is my inspiration.
I've grown up as an "image maker" thanks to Gideon's awesome frames, not only in my photographic hobbie but also in my job as a graphic designer.
Thank you G.
You are truly "The Master"."25th April, 2009

"For me, xd360 has some of the most wonderful work on flickr. Gideon's dreams and noir series are particularly powerful and absorbing. His evocation of instantly recognisable complex emotional and psychological states through the most adept use of colour, mood and form is quite remarkable. There is an eloquence and power in Gideon's work that keeps me returning again and again to witness pieces that are as a powerful as a cinematic climax, a turning or breaking point in a character's psyche.
The wonderful archetypal power of Gideon's images and his bravery in trying bold new forms of expression and exploration keeps his work endlessly fresh, inventive and fascinating. Gideon's comments on the work of others are always intelligent, perceptive and enormously encouraging.
Gideon is a 'diamond geezer' and a bloody fine artist. Enjoy. Tony"27th June, 2008
