About our paintings

Paintings are precious in many ways and few gifts increase in value to the recipient in the way a quality paintings will.

Here you can find excellent unusual gifts for special occasions, you can commemorate achievements, illustrate stories in a uniquely impressive way.

Our imagination yours and mine, is the only limit.

One only has to see how fine paintings transform homes, bring models to life in a museum, affect offices or public exhibitions to appreciate the difference.

You are viewing and we hope ordering from one of the very few artists invited to exhibit at the European Parliament (May 2011), a remarkable endorsement.

Pictures of enduring worth for special occasions, many have become family treasures and some, historical documents.

The unique and distinctive paintings of the versatile Gordon Frickers mark (almost) a life time of passionate involvement and study by an artist of distinction, enjoy.

Marine Painting

Gallery One provides an introduction to 30+ years of marine painting, and much archived marine history resultant from Gordon Frickers often ground breaking research and 51+ years of experience.

For Marine Commissions or Marine Prints, you are in safe hands with Gordon Frickers.

Gordon Frickers is the first and only marine painter invited to exhibit at the European Parliament, by the chairman of the Transport and Tourism Committee, not a bad endorsement.

A painter first and foremost, the versatile Frickers is noted as reliable, professional, a good team player, experienced and diverse producing work with accuracy, depth, luminosity and immediacy; among other qualities.

Many of the compositions are loaded with emotions, vitality, mysteries.
Frickers sometimes surprising combinations of colours challenge and excite many people in much the same way and for similar reasons as did the unexpected colour combinations of his illustrious predecessors in particular Monet and Degas who had similar colour vision.
As with his first hero of painting, J M W Turner, Frickers choice of subject sometimes enable us to reflect on the great issues of our times.

Brian Simpson MEP wrote “Frickers paintings are marks of our achievement as a people.
Frickers is an ambassador today and for future generations for our marine world“.

The mystery of paintings

Few things make a home or offices look more stylish than very good paintings.
They give rooms intuitive uplift without people even looking at the paintings.
They convey authority and integrity to the rooms in a way which no other furnishings can, challenging the senses and imagination of all who see them.
Fine paintings will arouse conversations, give pleasure and value every time you see them and some times when you just know they are there.

Being rare and individual, fine pictures become treasured heirlooms.
Fine art has consistently proven to be one of the very best investments.

Many satisfied clients! You will hardly ever see Frickers Art at Auction!
