Graeme attended Glasgow School of Art 1989 - 93 and graduated with a BA (Hons).
The Medici Gallery has exhibited Graeme's paintings for the past nine years and during this time he has become one of the gallery’s leading figurative painters. Since graduating, Graeme has been working in the WASPS studios in the East End of Glasgow. His work, technically traditional, has a powerful contemporary feel, depicting underlying tensions between animation and stillness. He is able to portray the transient, blurred image of one moving figure and at the same time, engage in precise photographic representation of another. Graeme has collaborated on a number of multi media projects with Mischief-la-bas-performance group and with other artists, culminating in projects at the Arches and Tramway in Glasgow and the Albany Theatre in London. He has also organised two large scale mural projects in collaboration with the East End Community Arts for Glasgow Health Board and devised and ran "Face to Face" photography project in Glasgow. This Arts Council funded project culminated in a temporary public artwork at the East End Festival in Glasgow.
Graeme's work is held in private collections in Europe,the USA and Canada and in public collections in Petrezovodsk, Russia and the Gulf State of Qatar. He is also held in the Corporate Collection of the Royal Bank of Scotland, Edinburgh. He exhibits regularly in London and throughout the UK, both in group and solo shows. All Graeme's paintings are oil on canvas.
