George Munton

George Munton was born in Yorkshire in 1976. Whilst at Aysgarth Prep School he was awarded the Charles Wheeler Art prize and went on to win numerous art prizes during the following 5 years at Harrow.

After completing an MA in History of Art at St Andrews University he returned to Yorkshire in 2000 to start painting, with the aim of establishing himself as one of the country's best up-and-coming architectural painters of his generation.

George's strong understanding of architecture and perspective along with a natural flair for light and atmosphere enable him to create classical oil paintings that belie his young age.

George spends much of the summer months traveling around the UK undertaking commissions of Country Houses and the landscapes that surround them.

He also spends a lot of time producing oil sketches of London and the Thames, in particular, before returning to his studio in Yorkshire where he paints his larger canvases. When he has enough time to travel he enjoys painting in the South of France.

He has had numerous successful exhibitions in Edinburgh, Cheshire and London over the past 5 years, culminating in 'A Celebration of Harrovian Art Exhibition' at Christies, King Street in January 2006, which was a sell-out.

Since beginning his career, George has built up an impressive list of collectors and admirers of his work.
