Norman’s print is derived from his 1974 painting ‘People in a Kitchen with Plants’ and depicts his wife and two youngest sons in the kitchen of the top floor tenement flat at the Southern end of Kenmure Street, Pollokshields which they bought in 1965 and owned for twenty years.
Norman Gilbert (b. 1926, Trinidad) is an artist based in Glasgow.

Norman’s work has been the subject of two BBC films (1974 and 2018). The first broadcast coincided with his solo show at Edinburgh’s Talbot Rice Gallery. To date Norman has had fourteen solo shows, the most recent being at the Tatha Gallery (2019).
