Stuart Murray’s work is highly observational with a strong element of social commentary.
Among the themes he has explored/is exploring are gentrification, homelessness and begging, working and the workplace, drinking and pub culture.
Like many modern artists, Stuart Murray has two bases, spending his time between The Calton and Dennistoun. He finds this arrangement extremely stimulating.
Much of his work has taken the form of themed publications. The most recent of these being Bucharest, published by Tramway, and In Pubs, a large format book published by Street Level Photoworks. He is currently puting the finishing touches to London, a new book which will mark a return to self-publishing unless he can persuade someone else to publish it. As well as regularly updating this blog with new drawings he is also working on a series of large scale screenprints based on the streets, buildings and people that make up the part of Glasgow he lives in.
This blog site will be used to publish new drawings based on everyday life, as it happens at the shops, in the pub, at work etc.
Drawings executed and uploaded every day or so, internet access permitting.
