Stephen Conroy made an immediate impact with his degree show last year at
Glasgow School of Art. His quiet, almost academic approach ('If you can't do life drawing, there's not much point doing anything else') is applied to enigmatic canvases depicting a claustrophobic world of 'semi-pathetic wee characters involved in brilliantly illuminated architectural settings'.
