About Billy Grant
Billy grew up in Glasgow, where soot-streaked tenements and abandoned buildings doubled as playgrounds and portals. Without formal training, his early influences came from time spent in galleries, music scenes and the charged atmosphere of Glagow's West End. A move to London in 1990 led to decades immersed in music, photography and high-end kitchens where plating became composition, and detail was everything. He always returned to image-making as a constant thread.
Billy's art is an exploration of memory, place and the subtle forces that bind us to the past. Sometimes stark, sometimes dense, the work is led by mood, impulse and the restless need to make sense of it all. A visual diary of dislocation and return. Of what we keep, what we lose and how meaning reveals itself when we finally step back.
