Stuart Murray's work is highly observational with a strong element of social commentary.

Among the themes he has explored/is exploring are gentrification, menial jobs and survival tactics earning, homelessness and begging, drinking and pub culture.

An overall theme that emerges is that of ordinary people trying to survive.

Like many modern artists, Stuart Murray has two bases. He lives part time between Dennistoun and Dalmarnock. He finds this arrangement extremely stimulating.
