GRAHAM McKEAN was born in 1962 in Irvine, Ayrshire. His work has been described by the art critic W. Gordon Smith as a cross between the painters John Byrne and Stanley Spencer, with an interesting 'bite'. Success for McKean is being able to produce a painting which can communicate intimately with the viewer. In this way, his bold figurative paintings never fail to attract attention. The human figure is the main inspiration for his work. He believes in artistic independence and originality while maintaining a strong attachment to the craft of painting. His subject matter is a mixture of natural observation and experience - he merges imagination with reality. Although at times humorous, Graham McKean treats his work with the utmost seriousness and sincerity. McKean admires many of the surrealist painters who opened the door to paintings of mortality and morality. For him, the powerhouse of his creativity is fuelled by his fertile imagination, which often borders on the surreal. McKean’s work is included in numerous private and public collections including Standard Life, RICS (Edinburgh) and William Grant and Sons Ltd. He was recently commissioned by the Scottish Opera to produce 5 large oils depicting all aspects of opera and theatre for the Theatre Royal in Glasgow.
