    Rory Macdonald

    UK based Rory Macdonald has been working full-time as an artist since completing his postgraduate Art History degree at the University of St Andrews. With both of his parents being professional painters, he has been taught to paint from an early age and has had the pleasure of working within that space growing up.

    Rory's artistic practice fuses his formal art historical education and the traditional mode of oil painting in order to reframe Renaissance and Baroque painting in the twenty first century, displaying a slightly absurd and surreal sense of humour.
