CHAD McCAIL

 Initially studying English literature at the University of Kent, McCail transferred his attention to fine art and completed a degree at Goldsmiths’ college in 1989. Early work from that period reveals his unease about social and state control plus a love of the poster as a form of artistic expression.

 McCail came to public recognition in 1998 for his outsize drawings depicting vast scenes of civil disorder. Through the use of an aerial perspective view point and deliberate attention to detail McCail established his trade mark sense of forensic observation. 

Alongside these large works McCail looked inward to produce an autobiographical sequence of smaller paintings about growing up. The brightly coloured pictures tell stories of pleasure, love, fear and sexual awakening. 

I really like McCail's style of drawings, because sometimes I'm using a similar technique of drawing.

And also I really like that McCail includes a lot of detail in his work, his works looks like a real life which enclosed by black contour.

In my opinion McCail have great ability of expressions, he can clearly tell about his thoughts using graphics illustrations
