GRAEME WILCOX
‘Suited men are like stills from an unknown film,’ Art Company, Scotland, of Graeme Wilcox
Graeme Wilcox graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in 1993 and has exhibited in London, Edinburgh, Russia and Paris since. His paintings are strong, haunting and mysterious. The viewer often has the unsettling experience of staring into a Wilcox painting to find a still, blinded face which refuses to stare back or to communicate visually in any conventional way. Black and red, or dark blue, backgrounds frequently layer further tensions thickly onto the canvas. These paintings often encapsulate a frozen moment.
Wilcox was a finalist at the Celeste Art Prize, London 2006 and was also awarded the Glasgow Art Club Fellowship Award. He received the Arthur Andersen Prize for Best Young Artist at RGI Annual Exhibition and the Glasgow Art Club Fellowship Award, 2004, all evidence of a dramatically evolving reputation as an artist.
Graeme Wilcox’s works can be found in private collections in the UK, USA and Canada and in public collections in Petrezovodsk, Russia and the Gulf State of Qatar.
