Martin Boyce was born in 1967 in Hamilton, Scotland. He studied at the Glasgow School of Art, graduating with a BA in environmental art in 1990, then a MFA in 1997.
Boyce's work encompasses a range of media including sculpture, installation, printmaking and photography, as well as fictional text. He produced a screenprint for the Glasgow Print Studio Habitat Portfolio in 1999, and since then has used the Print Studio to produce his own prints. “Disappear Here” another print published by Glasgow Print Studio, employs elements of design history, particularly evident is the modernist influence in the grid formations created.
Boyce represented Scotland at the 53rd Venice Biennale in 2009, and in 2011 he won the Turner Prize for his installation “Do Words Have Voices”.
