Kidd Murray
Kidd Murray, a visual artist from Glasgow, graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in 2017 with an Honours degree in Painting and Printmaking.
Their work explores the human experience, with each painting serving as a window into a journey of self-discovery and growth.
Through the transformative symbolism of butterflies and caterpillars, Murray challenges traditional notions of
beauty and questions the male gaze.
Hair features heavily in Murray’s latest painting series; a nod to the traditional work of the old masters. Hair is deeply tied to identity and femininity, and in this series it acts as a reminder of the inevitable simultaneous relationship between growth and letting go.
Murray’s anthropomorphic representations explore the delicate balance between vulnerability, strength, and masculine and feminine energies.
