Laurie Strachan

Laurie Strachan, a UK-born painter and Wolverhampton School of Art graduate, works exclusively in oil on large-scale canvases, drawing from a rich background in Fine Art. His dramatic, monochromatic portraits merge photographic reference with bold, rapid brushwork, powerfully playing with shade, shadow, and raw canvas in ways that reference both classical and contemporary influences. Constantly pushing technique with UV/Blacklight technology and AI-based imagery, he evokes awe, intrigue, and intense introspection, inviting each viewer into a charged conversation with his haunting, captivating subjects. Moving on to study for an MA Fine Art at ual/Central Saint Martins, London. 2025 - 2027.
