Euan McGregor graduated in Printmaking from Glasgow school of Art in 1998, winning the Royal Glasgow Institute travelling scholarship in his graduation year. He has won a number of awards from Art institutions including: the RGI Cuthbert Artist Award and Glasgow Art Club Fellowship Award and he was made a PAI in 2014. He currently teaches Art & Design in a secondary school in Renfrewshire and lives with his young family in North Ayrshire.
Euan has a particular interest in mid-20th century British landscape painting and his influences include Hockney, Piper and the St Ives school in Cornwall. In his subject matter,Euan is drawn to fringe or marginal spaces linking land and sea and he has created bodies of work on such varied themes as Outdoor pools and Lidos, the Lutheran churches of Iceland and a series of Scottish Distilleries.
Euan's work has a strong sense of form and subject and he regularly uses printmaking within his paintings which defines the shape and space within his compositions and creates a flatness to Euan's work. His ability to combine bold, graphic shapes with a more refined use of colour and light gives a striking yet understated effect to his paintings.
