This acrylic on canvas painting by Brian Graham (born 1945) is the latest acquisition for the fine art collection. Graham’s artistic inspiration comes from the ancient landscape and archaeological sites. He is fascinated with the physical practice in archaeology of layers and uncovering these layers to discover new things. This is echoed in his artistic practice – he is an intuitive artist and responds to his materials, allowing their potential to evolve. For this painting, Graham was inspired by Star Carr, an archaeological site near Scarborough.
The painting can be seen in the exhibition “Out of the Shadows” 20 September until 25 January 2009.
