Craig Jefferson is a Scottish artist who now lives and works in Northern Ireland. He began his creative career at Leith School of Art in 2002 and continued his studies at Edinburgh College of Art where he graduated with an Honours Degree in Drawing and Painting.
Craig was elected to membership of the prestigious New English Arts Club in 2016 and, in 2022, was runner-up in the Scottish Portrait Awards.
Craig makes paintings and drawings that explore still life, figuractive and landscape subjects. He seeks to investigate the profound qualities that exist in our surroundings. His vibrant use of colour modifies appearances and makes new, expressive forms. It also makes the viewer notice and appreciate both the subject matter and the materiality of the mark making.
