Artist Biography

Gareth has had a lifelong enthusiasm and fascination with art making and being creative. He has worked as a freelance mixed media artist and designer for the last 8 years, combining his love of painting, collage and photography skills with digital tools to develop his own visual language.

Having collected printed ephemera for over two decades, Halliday is drawn to the otherworldly qualities of vintage photography and collage art. He utilises found fragments with his own, to create a Dadaist and Surrealist sensibility to form worlds simultaneously possible and impossible, creating otherworldly dreamscapes.

Gareth has produced artwork for Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds album Who Built The Moon (2017) and the band’s three E.P’s released between 2019-2021 and a number of single releases since up to the present day.

2019 also saw a collaboration on the design artwork with Damon Albarn and Remi Kabaka Jnr’s (Blur, Gorillaz) Africa Express. Gareth created the artwork for both E.P MOLO and the acclaimed Africa Express album EGOLI.

Gareth has been part of several group exhibitions across London and has had a solo exhibition titled ‘Possible Worlds’ with Lazinc at The Outsiders in 2014. 2019 saw Halliday’s series of work in the successful exhibition Be Here Now: Today Is Just A Daydream ‘The Art of Rock ‘N’ Roll’ in Harrogate with Redhouse Originals Gallery. The exhibition included world reknown artists and album sleeve designers such as Peter Blake, Storm Thorgerson, Brian Cannon, Pete McKee and Banksy.

He continues to create album and single artwork for artists across the world as well as continuing to experiment and develop ideas through play and process.

Gareth sells his work worldwide.
