His forte is colour, colour applied liberally, colours in juxtaposition, colours from which leap the images he creates. He has concentrated on marketscapes, townscapes, forestscapes - and his distinctive paintings are found in public and private collections worldwide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eON DR. GLOVER'S PAINTINGS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e He enjoys painting crowded scenes as panoramas. \"I love markets\" he says, \"and I love the market mummies (women). I adore the hustle and bustle of towns. He squeezes rich colours straight onto canvas and uses a palette knife to build up the images. The British critic Errol Lloyd describes his paintings as being \"reminiscent of Seurat's 'pointillist' technique in which an image is meticulously built up by a series of carefully considered dots of specific hues. With Glover, however, the process is more random and joyous and the colours more primary; and the dots nearer to daubs. And whereas Seurat achieved in his pictures a sense of stillness and timelessness, Glover's paintings bustle with movement and vitality. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eARTIST STATEMENT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e My work at first glance seems to dwell on three themes, but to me they are all shoots from one root: People, particularly women. I have painted women as long as I can remember, they fascinate me and excite my imagination. What excites me about women is their courage, as shown in the way they carry themselves - erect and brave; they way they speak with their every movement - you might call it body language. These women carried my imagination to the market - which I like to think of as a culture within a culture. There is certainly more to it than meets the eye, what goes on in the market goes beyond buying and selling.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e I believe the political, economic, and social climate of the nation is determined at the market. When I paint people, I paint the movement, movement in colour - colour juxtaposition. I believe that is what happens when we look upon a crowd of people - we do not see people really, we just see colour, and movement, that is what I try to capture in my people and market panoramic scenes. My townscapes have a philosophical note to them - I often wonder what might be happening under those roofs: loving, living, hating, killing, stealing, etc. - if only those roofs could be lifted - the revelation could be devastating! My animal fights depict conflict, and the explosion, when conflicts build up. In summary, my work is my response to my environment, and the dynamics that control it: women.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr
