Statement

Statement

A painter and urban explorer based in Scotland, my practice is concerned with the layers and structures of the urban landscape. A key part of my process involves going on-site, to places I perhaps shouldn’t, to explore and record the transient nature of man-made structures and the relentless processes of change upon the built environment.

A graduate of Glasgow School of Art, and known for my highly detailed oil paintings of urban subjects, I place an emphasis on draughtsmanship and textural detail. Constantly developing techniques to render the textures of brick, rust and peeling paint, my work takes me to industrial wastelands and derelict buildings, covered in graffiti and falling apart, as time and the elements overtake them.
