Toby Paterson was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1974. He studied at the Glasgow School of Art from 1991 to 1995. His work creatively interprets and re-imagines architectural spaces, often choosing seemingly unpromising subjects such as post-war housing schemes and the remains of utopian building projects.
Under the influence of his grandfather Lennox, Toby Paterson's first experience of Glasgow Print Studio was at the age of six. Since then he has curated a group exhibition in 2005, Prisms and Shadows, has exhibited his own work in the 2012 solo show Remnant and produced a suite of prints in collaboration with Glasgow Print Studio.
Selected exhibitions and projects include Devils in the Making, GOMA, Glasgow (2015); Thresholds, Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop, Edinburgh (2014); Ludic Motif, Trongate, Glasgow (2014) and Resetting, a public commission in the south-west area of The Hague, with Stroom Den Haag, The Netherlands (2013). In 2002 he won the Beck’s Futures Price, and in 2007 BBC Scotland commissioned the artist to create an artwork for their new headquarters at Pacific Quay in Glasgow.
