He completed his undergraduate degree in Fine Art (Hons) Painting at Camberwell College, University of the Arts London (UAL) in 2007. Glen is a current PhD candidate with Creative Practice Component at the UOA.
Glen’s doctoral thesis is titled Painting and the Materiality of Thought: Creating the Grounds for Thinking Matter. It takes the question of how and when thinking occurs through painting as its medium, as opposed to its usual organisation through the medium of language.
On the subject of painting as object, Glen has curated an exhibition called Materialised, and published a catalogue More Than a Picture: The Painting as Object. His work has been selected for curated exhibitions such as Grid / Colour / Plane at Malcolm Smith Gallery and On Hold to Read at Morrinsville Gallery. He has been commissioned for work at the Project Wall, Te Tuhi and his work has toured in exhibitions for the Arts House Trust (TSB Bank Awards). He is included in such public collections as the Arts House Trust, and has an ongoing interest in writing alongside his making. He has been published in the Psychodynamic Practice journal, Routledge Taylor & Francis Group, along with the on-line critical art-review site EyeContact.
Glen currently lectures and supervises on the Fine Arts Postgraduate programme. He has been at Whitecliffe since 2011, working across all year groups.
