Laith McGregor primarily works in two mediums – oil on canvas, and the unconventional medium of biro on paper. Increasingly he is adding a third element to his practice, making video works which build on his interest in biography, portraiture and the semiotics of the beard.

In Matured, McGregor uses his own face as the ground on which to launch a witty investigation into the imaginary and preposterous dimensions of masculinity.
