Toby Paterson (born 1974) is a visual artist based in Glasgow whose practice explores built spaces, especially post-war modernist architecture, and their cultural outcomes over time. He won the Beck’s Futures Prize in 2002 and in 2007 he was commissioned by BBC Scotland to produce an installation for their headquarters at Pacific Quay, Glasgow.

Life and Education
Toby Paterson was born in Glasgow in 1974. He studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and at the Glasgow School of Art, from which he graduated in 1995. Additionally, in 2011 he was awarded an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Letters by Glasgow Caledonian University, which commissioned him to create three extensive wall-paintings for the Saltire Centre. The artworks entitled 'Potential Form' convey the University's dynamic drive as well as its aim to be an inspirational base for the professional, personal and academic development of its students.

Work
Paterson is particularly interested in the relationship between post-war architectures such as housing schemes and ruins of uncompleted or decayed building projects and the economic, social and political ideas behind them. His practice is both informed by his personal experience of places (by skateboarding journeys for instance) and by the history that they entail. Among his artworks are drawings, paintings and sculptural installations for public places, which lead viewers to ask themselves how they perceive built environments and how they relate to them.

In 2002 he was the winner of the Beck’s Futures Prize and in 2006 he received a Creative Scotland Award. He is also the recipient of several public commissions, such as Poised Array for the façade of the BBC Scotland Headquarters in Glasgow (2007) and the Powder Blue Orthogonal Pavilion (2008), part of the Portavilion project in London. Other commissions include a series of artworks for the extension of the Docklands Light Railway for the London Olympics (2012), The Sociology of Autumn for Edinburgh Art Festival (Chessels Court, Edinburgh, 2017), Cluster Relief (Dunfermline Remnant) created for Dunfermline Carnegie Library & Galleries (2017), Hatton Pavilion (Various locations, Newcastle & Gateshead, 2017) and Shifting Landscape at the Renfrew Health and Social Work Centre (2010).
