The Medici Gallery - Graeme Wilcox - figurative colourist.

another great accidental 'art find moment' happened today, as myself and an old art colleague were wandering around London looking for inspirational visuals, at the Medici Gallery on Cork Street run by the very charming Joshua Meath Baker.



One of those GOTTA GO IN AND SEE THAT moments, that are so rare in life it isn't even funny. This eye-catching artist goes by the name of Graeme Wilcox, a graduate of Glasgow School of Art in 1993.



It was SO REFRESHING to walk into a London gallery and actually find an artist who can still paint the human figure, but above and beyond the anatomical excellence was Greame Wilcox's use of colour; so subtle and yet so fitting. Not wishy washy or bland but superbly well chosed for the subject matter.



To say that Greame Wilcox is a real colourist would be understating the obvious, it's also his use of subtle motion in his 'still life' portraits that really brings a more intellectualised re-thinking of Francis Bacon's whole 'captured moment' philosophy of artistic expression; but with a far greater depth of technique and artistic understanding.



Recommend you go right now (with prices as low as £2,000) and pick one of his originals off the walls before they all go.
