About Peter Graham ROI

Profile

Artist details

Artist's Statement

Peter Graham is one of Britain’s foremost Modern Colourists and a member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. His work is often related to the modern Scottish school of painters, but Peter has a flamboyant style which is unique – detailed brushwork combined with looser fluid strokes creating vibrant contrasts of pure colour, line and tone.

Peter Graham has maintained a lifelong preoccupation with light and intense colour gaining in the process a national and international reputation for his highly distinctive style. 

Whenever possible Peter works ‘en plein air’, directly from life, be it the harbours and cafes of France, coastal scenes around the Scottish isles, or the grandeur of New York and London dining rooms. “Often because of my approach I can attract onlookers, which can be quite revealing as you can see what kind of reaction you are getting to your painting – a sort of instant criticism.

Generally, people are very polite and understand that the painting is in progress and still developing”.

Peter lives and works in Glasgow, dividing his time between painting in his ‘Greek’ Thomson studio and travelling the world with his unique palette.

Method of Working

Peter prefers to work en plein air whenever possible and does not use photography in his painting process. He believes this is how to get at the heart of the subject.
