'Graham's response to landscape is contemplative. Like an elaborate game of chess, works evolve through time. Creation becomes a challenge as every mark is considered as the aesthetic process unravels towards sublime resolution. Graham's preoccupations are undoubtedly formal, but his technique relies on more than simply a conscious arrangement of shape and colour. Graham aims to intuitively distil the essence of his visual experience in a much more unlimited way. Landscape provides the ideal motif; unrestricted by figures or buildings, an exploration is permitted which ultimately pervades pure creation.'

"Your paintings bear scrutiny against everything you told me about your method and approach (so often people talk a good game and their work doesn't resemble its' description). They are singular and beautiful."

'Calligraphy, quality of line, mark-making, colour-relationship, proportion, perspective and aesthetics. I was trained to use classic traditional materials and I try to cut through to the essence of what matters in an image. It is a contemplative way of working.'
