Biography

System of a Soul

 

 

 

 

Welcome to graeme-art.co.uk, a website about my digitally created fine art and illustration. My name is Graeme Mc Allister a practicing artist and designer based in the city of Newry in Northern Ireland, I have been perfecting my digital artwork for the past 7 years. I have completed a degree in multimedia in June 2006.

My art is mainly symbolic in nature, due to my interest in mythology and psychology. I would cite the painters Susan Seddon Boulet and Salvador Dali as my two greatest influences, as I have always been particularly inspired by the surrealist movement and fantasy art. The impossible landscapes and strange figures of the surrealist movement spoke to my imagination and imagination after all is the window that we view the "real world" through.

I enjoy combining the technical thinking process involved in using Photoshop with the imaginative concepts of the images themselves. This method of working quite often guides the subject matter I explore as much of my work is about man’s endeavours to combine the material and spiritual worlds. My visual poetry takes these ideas a stage further giving the written pieces and imagery more depth and power then they could achieve in isolation. I am planning to release a book of illustrated poetry in the near future.

The images in the main gallery and the visual poetry gallery are available to buy as prints from my redbubble online store. Just use the buy links under each image.

I am available for commissioned artwork and illustration. If you would like a personalised image please send me details of the theme by using the contact page.
