In a Silent Way
A graduate from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Dundee, Speedy is the recipient of an RSA John Kinross Scholarship and has also been shortlisted for the New Blood Emerging Artist Prize. Two of his Degree Show paintings were exhibited at Unit London during Frieze Week 2025.
Speedy’s practice explores open and ambiguous narratives, reflecting states of drifting, separation and displacement. These ideas manifest through the swirling, fragmented, and otherworldly qualities of the work. Speedy combines landscape with figurative narratives, exploring tensions where unrelated places and incidents intertwine. Motifs are drawn from fleeting memories, often snapshots taken whilst travelling.
