A few months ago I watched a programme on TV about a fantastic British still-life artist. His paintings are incredible because his skills with creating light and shadow meant his pictures had a very 3D quality. A knife on table next to an apple would pop out at you. He said his greatest compliment was from a five year old boy who asked "But how did the knife get in the picture?"

As far as I remember he includes, and is particularly known for, a lot of stainless steel and other reflective surfaces in his paintings. Even through the medium of a non-HD telly his talent was astonishing.

He is a contemporary artist so yes, he's still alive, and he was described as the leading British still life artist.

But can I find him on the net! I've googled on and off for weeks and I can't get any closer to finding him. His first name is something like Graham or David but his surname is not a typical surname, it's a verb or a pronoun.

Oh, and one of his paintings is called 'Granny and the McIntoshes'. It is a painting of a granny smith apple next to two Mcintosh apples. I can't find that on Google either.

Does anyone have any idea who I am talking about? Pleeeeeese. I'd love to try and purchase some prints or save up and buy an original.
