Biography: Fred Crayk completed some art training in Paris, before studying at both Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee and Edinburgh College of Art. Since graduating in the late 1970s, he has exhibited across the U.K. and Europe and has lived and worked in various countries, having received awards and scholarships from the Royal Academy, British Council and Scottish Arts Council. He currently lives and works in London.
Crayk looks internationally for inspiration, but feels his work is always grounded in his particular perspective as a Scottish artist and his knowledge and reference to Scottish literature, philosophy and visual art is central to his outlook and artistic process.
