Graham Knuttel (1954) is an Irish painter and sculptor, whose work has been collected by various celebrities, such as Sylvester Stallone, Robert De Niro, Frank Sinatra, Eddie Jordan and Michael Stipe.[1][2] Initially known for sculptures, he has since become a painter.

He was born several years after his parents had moved to Ireland from England. His father was born in Germany and Jewish who had emigrated to England with his mother after World War I and served with the RAF.  His mother was a Unitarian from Northampton.
