Graeme Wilcox graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1993. He has exhibited in Glasgow, Edinburgh, London, New York, Paris and Russia. He was awarded the Arthur Andersen Prize for Best Young Artist (RGI, 1998), and Runner-up prize in the Black Swan Publisher’s Award (1999). His work is held in private and public collections in the UK, Russia, Qatar, Canada and the USA.

Wilcox’s figurative works always hold something of the mysterious, playing with the tension of the frozen moment, and what might come next. He explores unusual colour harmonies, the constraints of personal expression and masculine conventions to create slightly unsettling scenarios, where the moral of the story is open to interpretation. His paintings of jugglers, hypnotists and suited men are like stills from an unknown film.
