Grassie's works, miniature in scale and hyper-realist in style, depict his own London (and sometimes portable) studio, renowned exhibition spaces and fictional exhibitions. Paintings of exhibitions of artworks that were never present together , paintings of paintings being painted, photographed and framed, and paintings of darkened gallery storage areas are some of the litany of tactics employed by the artist to create works with consistent self-reflexivity and endless visual punning.
