Gregor Smith 1944 - 2025

Glasgow Print Studio celebrates the life and work of the late Gregor Smith, a deeply respected and much-loved member of our printmaking community, who passed away earlier this year.

Works from the exhibition may be viewed here.

Born in Renton and educated at Edinburgh College of Art, Gregor was a painter and printmaker whose work reflected a lifelong sensitivity to Scotland's natural landscapes and ever-changing weather, from dramatic coastal scenes to quiet studies of shifting light and seasonal atmosphere.

Gregor brought a deep integrity and thoughtfulness to everything he created. His sketchbooks, often filled in wild and wintry conditions, were the first stage of a process that translated the rawness of nature into poetic and atmospheric compositions. His work resonated with viewers for its sense of place, mood, and quiet power.

We are honoured to present this posthumous exhibition of Gregor’s work — a tribute to his remarkable career and enduring presence within our community.

Works from the exhibition may be viewed here.
