Born in Ayrshire in 1978, Michael Murray currently works from his eclectic design studio in the west end of Glasgow, where he primarily creates with advanced 3d software learned from his time in London, working as a games artist on a LEGO Harry Potter title.
He is now a highly experienced digital fine artist and art consultant with an impressive portfolio of bespoke art collections for award winning build to rent (BTR) schemes, luxury student accommodations (PBSA), workplaces, and boutique hotels, in both the UK and overseas.
Notable clients include Grainger, the Uk's largest commercial landlord, Astra Zeneca, Starbucks, The Commonwealth Games, Student Roost, Savills, Bacardi, and Heineken.
Bespoke art collections are very often designed to reference and connect elements of a city or building's historical or industrial past, therefore considerable research is undertaken prior to creation.
In between bespoke projects Michael spends the majority of his time creating original print collections. The subject of his work ranges from abandoned and unloved local architecture, to flowing industrial and botanical abstracts where light, form, and lines are very much experimented with. Future planned collections include a series inspired by vintage Soviet toy robots, and a conceptual series of Wes Anderson inspired fantastical and retro architecture.
Past exhibitions include group shows with the famous Glasgow Group at the Royal Concert Hall, and the Maclaurin Gallery in Ayrshire.
His work has also been featured on the front cover of A-N Magazine, as well as making appearances on TV shows on the BBC and Amazon Prime.
Art Consultancies/Art Advisory Companies - he works wih Farmboy Fine Arts in Canada on projects in Canada and the US, and more recently he has joined the family at Artiq, in London.
