ABOUT THE ARTIST
TEDDY McDONALD
An autodidactic and ultra-contemporary artist, Teddy established his professional practice in 2011 and achieved international recognition in 2015 when Ed Sheeran played his art guitar in over 18 countries during the Multiply world tour. The following year GQ magazine profiled Teddy as 'The Artist to Watch'.
A collaboration with members of the British royal family and a Range Rover art car followed and Ed Sheeran played a second art guitar on the Divide world tour and during his headline performance at The Glastonbury Festival.
In 2022, Teddy created painted headwear worn by acclaimed climber Kenton Cool during his record-breaking 16th summit of Mount Everest. The BBC reported Teddy had achieved 'The Highest Art on Earth'.
Many of the artist's influences are autobiographical and his paintings and drawings are easily identifiable as naive and loosely-rendered works, in acrylic or oil pastel, featuring recurring symbolism and essential lines notably of Italian life, nature and the female form.
Teddy works from locations in the Cotswolds and Italy.
