DANNY McBRIDE has spent his entire
working life in the arts. He began his journey with an illustrious music
career that spanned more than three decades. Jet-setting with celebrated
stars to the planet’s most glamorous locations, McBride played enormous
venues. During his travels, he worked in the company of luminaries like
Natalie Cole, U2, Joe Cocker and Supertramp. He earned the job as Chris de
Burgh’s lead guitarist for 14 years and also completed two records as a CBS
recording artist.
McBride
turned his considerable talents to a new challenge in more recent years: the
visual arts. The canvas is now his chosen medium for giving expression to
his creative drive. He has developed a strong reputation for his arresting
and immediately recognizable portraiture of women in hats. His unique
paintings have appeared in locales ranging from the walls of Sotheby’s
Auction House in New York to the houses of Hollywood celebrities.
McBride says, “I have been told that my paintings are dream like. I
appreciate that, because I use no models or props; the work comes totally
from within. I like to think that my paintings give people a sense of
well-being and something to spark the imagination.”
Danny McBride’s original paintings are available exclusively at White Rock
Gallery, which is home to a enchanting range of original paintings,
sculpture and ceramics. Established in 1989, the Gallery continually strives
to maintain the magical amalgam of artistic visions that are unique and yet
somehow complementary. Each of the professional artists represented here
brings an intense dedication to his or her calling and the carefully wrought
skill set to give expression to it. From realist to abstract, whimsical to
intense, audaciously colourful to subtly grey-toned, the ever evolving
displays of art at the Gallery exert an irresistible pull and leave visitors
feeling nourished. This is a special place.
