Gray Fairweather

''For every step we take, we must travel a thousand journeys''

Born in 1975, in Middlesbrough, England, to parents Eric and Julie Fairweather, the family relocated to Manchester a year later, along with his elder sister, so that his father could secure better-paid employment.

With numerous Exhibitions to date, he became more established in the art world amongst his peers and collectors but it was not until 2010 that the Artist was drawn to the idea of exhibiting his work and preferred to paint in total privacy. Now having been Exhibited in London, Paris, Prague and Barcelona, he seems to have developed a desire to share his work with others.

Having never studied Art academically and refusing to take the exam at school, he did study Drama & Theater Arts at the University of Staffordshire, UK, where he graduated in 2004. Perhaps this has influenced his need for enhancing the theatrical in his works.

Now residing in Prague, Czech Republic, he is currently working on commissions and preparing to extend his collections of works that were developed during his stay in other European cities he has travelled to.

Self-Taught artist.

Mainly, I am inspired by painters such as Degas, Chagall and Cezanne in an atmospheric way. For me, they were the masters of their time and created incredible pieces of art. I have always admired Expressionist art also or Neo-expressionists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat who painted with such freedom of thought which is both true and beautiful.
