About the artist

Originally from Australia, Smug has called Scotland home for over 20 years. An internationally renowned artist known for his realistic large-scale mural installations, Smug takes inspiration from people and nature, exploring the harmony in the relationship between the two.

With his trademark understanding of light and shadow Smug’s elusive painting can often juxtapose themes together such as death, playfulness, melancholy and unadulterated joy. Whilst his technique stays true to his foundation with traditional graffiti Smug’s murals can be seen as “stylised realism” with hyper realistic elements achieved freehand, primarily with spray paint.

This artwork was created as part of the 2024 Wall to Wall Festival
