Murray Robertson is a Scottish artist who studied at Glasgow School of Art and currently resides in Glasgow. Whilst maintaining an interest in traditional fine art printmaking through many years of association with the Glasgow Print Studio, it is the research, development and application of new technologies, specifically digital imaging and printing, that has most influenced his current professional practice. He is a Master Printer at Glasgow Print Studio, managing the Digital Imaging Suite.
Robertson’s work is influenced by cartography and nature, specifically diagrammatic representations of nature and iconography, drawing on natural history textbooks, maps, scientific and technical drawing, and cultural icons.
Robertson has exhibited widely in the UK and across the globe, in the USA, Japan, and Finland. He has been awarded numerous residencies, such as at the Sir JJ School of Art in Mumbai, India, and at the International Symposium on Digital Printmaking in Mexico. In 2017 Robertson was elected a Member of the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts.
