Graham Govan – Born Glasgow 1950. Trained at Edinburgh College of Art and Glasgow School of Art. Awarded a Scottish Arts Council grant to study printmaking at Dundee Contemporary Arts print studio.
Graham works with photography, digital media and printmaking to create still life, documentary and abstract works that feature the use of available light and contain a strong element of chance in their composition.
Graham has had solo exhibitions in Scotland and has been involved in group shows throughout the UK. His work is featured in many private collections and has been published in a number of contemporary Fine Art catalogues.
Statement:
Having been involved with the medium of photography now for nearly thirty
years I am still surprised by its capacity to offer fresh ways of seeing and interpreting the world. I hope that my continuing journey as an artist will enable me to explore as much of this potential as I can.
