Graham Illingworth

Preferring to shun the trend for encouraging the media exposure Graham remains reclusive, maintaining an anonimity which allows him to express himself through his work. His paintings illustrate a remarkable sensitivity and a unique empathy with foreign cultures. Born in Brighouse in 1953, Graham developed his talent during his childhood spent mining roots of his home town, the lush green wilderness of the Kent estuary and the spectacular architechtural glory of the ancient city of York. Three years of formal art training and eight years in publishing helped hone his extraordinary skills. But it was his passionate interest in the mystical which motivated him to use his talent as a means of exploring the conflict between opposing forces.
His silkscreen images today are highly coveted, prized and valued, to the point where they are oversubscribed even before they are published.
