 "I have been waiting for years to make this print." - says Craig McPherson, "The image and related research grew out of a commission by the MBIA company which re-insures large public projects of this sort. Going down a 750 foot shaft into a miles long tunnel was a memorable experience." McPherson is known for his murals, paintings and mezzotints. Many reflect his 30-year tenure in New York City - most notably a series of works exhibited in 1983, which included a view of Yankee Stadium at night. His 11 feet high by 318 feet long mural of the harbor cities of the world located in the world financial center adjacent to Ground Zero created between 1987 and 1992 remained unscathed by the attacks. McPherson had his first retrospective at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England in 1998. The show then traveled to The Hunterian Museum in Glasgow, Scotland.

McPherson's work is included in numerous major museums in the United States and abroad. Steel: Pittsburgh Drawings by Craig McPherson, at the Frick Art Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is the artist's latest exhibition of more than 30 works (May, 2008). Mary Thomas writes in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette: "McPherson's range of tone - articulating snow and steam, shadow and smoke with equal dexterity and definition - comes from a mastery of technique, a respect for craftsmanship, and, mostly, an act of will. They are, upon examination, unbelievably exquisite."

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Paul Binnie is a Scottish artist working in the Japanese tradition of woodblock print making. His work is reflective of the shin hanga artists of the early to mid-20th century, employing subjects such as landscapes, tattoos, and female beauties (bijin).
He studied art history at Edinburgh University and painting and etching at Edinburgh College of
Art from 1985-1990. In 1990 he moved to Paris until his interest in Japanese Ukiyo-e prints took him to Japan in 1993. There he studied woodblock print carving and printing with the master Seki Kenji. In 1998, Binnie moved to London and set up his own studio. Here he expanded his oeuvre to include Landscapes and bijin.
