I have lived in Berlin from 2018 till 2025, now I am back in Edinburgh still working as a painter with an interest in cinematography, tacky adverts, horror movies, excessive sports graphics, overcrowded computer desktops, inane words and dad hats to name a few and I know you do.

“McLean has the skill of bringing to our attention the absurd loudness and inescapable levels of vapidness around us whilst simultaneously peeling away the disposable garishness and noise to reveal the natural beauty of the image. Too often we disregard something as it appears cheap and nasty, McLean has highlighted the beauty nestled humbly in the image, waiting to be dis- covered and appreciated.”
