Born in Mullingar, County Westmeath, Ireland in 1943, Graham attended the National College of Art and Design (1959-1963). Graham has long been considered ‘Ireland’s finest draughtsman’ and a genuine ‘artist’s artist’, but these much abused terms – though undoubtedly apt in relation to Graham – do not capture the truly powerful nature of his work. Graham’s paintings and drawings are a magnificent and unique balancing act of strength and fragility.

“Patrick Graham’s paintings are masterpieces… on a grand physical, emotional and intellectual scale… they are among the most complicated, salient reflections on modern existence that have been made in the last decade.” – Donald Kuspit
