Ross Muir

“Art has become my mother, my father, and my closest companion.”

Scottish artist Ross Muir is known for his fresh take on iconic masterpieces, blending the history of art with a contemporary twist. His work often combines modern elements—like Adidas tracksuits and witty slogans—with the classic styles of legendary artists such as Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso.

Born in 1981 in Alexandria, Scotland, Muir began his artistic journey at 30, after receiving a set of paints as a gift. With no formal training, he quickly turned his hobby into a full-time career, supported by friends and family. In 2018, his viral painting Square Gogh—a reimagining of Van Gogh’s work—brought him widespread attention and led to gallery representation.

Muir’s first solo exhibition in 2019 was a sell-out success, and despite a planned 2020 show being cancelled due to the pandemic, he adapted by bringing his art to the streets of Glasgow. His Jist Gogh Hame posters, featuring a playful twist on Van Gogh’s portrait, captured the public’s imagination and went viral internationally.

In 2021, Muir joined Maddox Gallery, marking a new chapter in his flourishing career. His works continue to blend cultural commentary with artistic homage. Signed Limited Edition Prints are available exclusively through Maddox.
