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

Among the themes he has explored/is exploring are gentrification, homelessness and begging, working and the workplace, drinking and pub culture.

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

Like many modern artists, Stuart Murray has two bases, spending his time between The Calton and Dennistoun. He finds this arrangement extremely stimulating.
