Graham Knuttel is an Irish artist known for his distinctive and colorful style, which often incorporates a variety of materials and techniques. He was born in Dublin in 1954 and initially pursued a career in professional football before turning to art.

Knuttel studied at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin and later moved to London to work as an artist. He gained international recognition in the 1980s for his mixed-media paintings, which feature bold, expressive brushstrokes and a vivid color palette.

His paintings represent the human predicament as he has seen it: his figures appear in an urban landscape, using color and form to express the emotion of his figures.

In addition to painting, Knuttel has also worked in sculpture, printmaking, and ceramics. His work often explores themes of human emotion and relationships, and he is particularly interested in capturing the complexity of interpersonal interactions
