Graeme Black is a Scottish artist known for his captivating paintings and drawings particularly of trees.

Graeme first reached out to Precision Proco in April 2022, after discovering our work on Instagram. He was particularly impressed by the catalogue we created for Jennifer Lee at the Erskine Hall & Coe Gallery - Ceramics and Modern Art Gallery, which convinced him we were the perfect fit for his upcoming project - a major exhibition in the USA, in which he required a catalogue that would reflect the quality and sophistication of his work. 

During an initial meeting, we shared our extensive experience working with various galleries and assured him that we would deliver something exceptional for his exhibition. 

Precision Proco has been proud to support Graeme with his latest book, WOODEND, which follows his personal journey of the transformation of Woodend Lodge, a property discovered in 2016, and after initial challenges was revitalised over two years, turning muddy fields into vibrant meadows and creating a harmonious living space. 

  • The reaction to the book has been incredible!
    Good team work!

Graeme's enthusiasm and keen attention to detail make him a joy to work with, inspiring us to bring some exceptional creative ideas to life. I'm excited to continue working with Graeme on future projects.
