There is something curiously magical about the work of Graham H D McKean. From beach bathers to sailors and clowns, his paintings emit an air of intrigue. Painted in vibrantly coloured oils there is also an element of the surreal which immediately engages the viewer. His works have been likened to that of Peter Howson, Beryl Cook and Stanley Spencer. Born on the west coast of Scotland, McKean originally trained as a graphic artist and in 1995 turned to painting professionally. His work immediately proved immensely popular, selling out at The Leith Gallery, and at London's Contemporary Art Fair.

McKean has commented; "Every picture should tell a story - my paintings are personal expressions of the things in life that I feel are important and I try to produce what I believe to be modern art". So taking as a starting point real emotions of everyday life and working out ideas in thumb-nail sketches, McKean conjures up a painted world inhabited with aspects of both the tragic and the comic. McKean's works are held in both private and corporate collections throughout Europe nad the USA.

Graham McKean likes people and they therefore become the main inspiration for his work. Although his work is known for its humour, he paints with the utmost seriousness and total sincerity, his creativity being fuelled from his imagination.

McKean believes in artistic independence whilst maintaining a strong attachment to the craft of painting. "My subject matter is a mixture of natural observation and experience. I merge imagination with reality."

McKean is driven to communicate. "I want to paint pictures which convey emotion. In a sense all my paintings are autobiographical statements, expressions of my own life. Success for me is being able to produce a painting which can communicate intimately with the viewer."
