Gray was born in Glasgow in 1934 and studied Design and Mural Painting at Glasgow School of Art from 1952-57. Since then he has exhibited widely across Scotland, particularly in his home city of Glasgow, since 1957 he has painted mural commissions for two churches, one synagogue, Palacerigg Nature Reserve centre, Dunfermline Local History Museum, the Ubiquitous Chip restaurant, and the Oran Mor Arts Centre and pub. He is also a writer, with 18 published books, and a winner of the Whitbread and Guardian book prizes. Most recently, he completed his biography ‘A Life in Pictures’ which was published in 2010 by Canongate to coincide with solo shows at The Talbot Rice Gallery and The Scottish National Galleries of Modern Art. Other solo exhibitions include ‘Now and Then’ (Sorcha Dallas, Glasgow) and ‘Printed Works’ (Glasgow Print Studio). Group shows include: ‘Alasdair Gray / Alasdair Taylor’ (Glasgow School of Art); ‘To Bring Forth and Give’ (Glasgow Print Studio), ‘Rank: Picturing the Social Order’ (Leeds Art Gallery / Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art, Sunderland / Grundy Art Gallery, Blackpool) and Poor. Old. Tired. Horse. (ICA, London). Gray was invited to talk on his visual art practice for Frieze Projects in 2008. His work has been included in ‘The British Art Show 7: In the Days of the Comet’ touring from the Hayward, London to CCA, Glasgow and Plymouth Art Centre in 2011.

A new mural for Hillhead Subway station in Glasgow (commissioned by Strathclyde Partnership for Transport) will be unveiled in June.
