Artist born in Perth who studied at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee, 1982–7, and at Art Institute of Chicago, 1984. He was in The New Generation at Compass Gallery, Glasgow, 1986, in Figuration to a Degree at Paton Gallery, 1993, and in Paton Gallery at The Economist, 1994. Paton gave Guild a solo show later that year/early 1995, work which “though its expression is streaked with Christian symbolism” was “a vision of a pre-Fall world whose creatures of land, sea and air are undiminished by guilt”. Among Guild’s other solo shows was Choice Bread at Paton Gallery in 1997, stemming from the artist’s winning The Villiers David Award in 1995 which “enabled me to experience Spanish painting and culture at first hand during a critical stage in the development of my work.
