Graham Lupp was born in Bathurst, New South Wales. In 1969 he graduated in architecture from the University of NSW in Sydney. From 1972 to 1977 he lived in London, completing a degree in fine art at Hornsey College of Art and post graduate studies at Chelsea School of Art.After five years of lecturing in the arts, at what is now Charles Sturt University in Bathurst, Lupp went painting full-time in 1984.

In the course of his career has had 50 solo exhibitions and been included in nearly 30 group shows. His work is in public and private collections in Australia and overseas.Although the scope of Lupp’s art reflects an interest in a wide range of subjects, his early training in architecture is a pervading influence - not only in his depiction of buildings, but in the carefully structured compositions that typify his work.Lupp employs most media, moving freely between oils, gouache, watercolours and pastels. When drawing he prefers compressed charcoal or coloured pencils. When travelling, he sketches in pen and ink and watercolour. Because of his diverse interests his work falls into distinct categories which he revisits as his inclinations dictate.
