Lesley Banks Tuscan Bed

James Morrison

Oil on canvas 71.1 cm x 96.5 cm Cyril Gerber Fine Art

Oil and acrylic on card on board 61cm x 39cm The Scottish Gallery

Lesley Banks studied Drawing and Painting at Glasgow School of Art from 1980-1984 before travelling around Europe, first on an Elizabeth Greenshields Award and then, over the years, with other scholarships including a Leverhulm Trust Award. Helped by a Scottish Arts Council Grant, Lesley was Artist in Residence at Edinburgh Zoo.

Born in Glasgow in 1932, James Morrison studied at Glasgow School of Art from 1950-1954. He joined the staff at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee, in 1965 and in 1987 he left the college to paint full-time. Since then, his work has been exclusively available through The Scottish Gallery.

Lesley regularly exhibits at the RGI, PAI and RSA and has had solo exhibitions at Compass Gallery, Glasgow; Bohun Gallery, Henley on Thames; Heartbreak Gallery, London and the Substation Gallery, Singapore.

In the spring of 2013 Morrisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work will be recognised by a retrospective exhibition at The Fleming Collection in London and through the publication of a new monograph, Land and Landscape: the painting of James Morrison.

F letcher Sibthorp The Key

Emily Young

Golden Onyx Female Form, 2012

Oil and palladium leaf on canvas panel 85cm x 78.5cm (framed) Heartbreak

Onyx 36 x 9 x 2 cm Bourne Fine Art

Born in Hertfordshire, England, in 1967, Fletcher Sibthorp is a contemporary representational artist living and working in London. His artworks are particularly distinctive due to their use of a mixture of metal leaf, oil paint and glazes, applied in a classical, grisaille technique.

Emily Young is an internationally renowned stone carver and regarded by many to be one of the finest of her generation. She creates large and complex pieces, carved by hand, in a startling array of stone from a disused quarry near to her studio - a semi-ruined 17th century monastery in the Maremma, Italy.

“Through my use of elemental and coveted materials, like gold and palladium, I am not only striving to give my work an historic connection to religious, iconographic paintings, but also to endow them with their own life and brilliance; to make them shimmer in whatever light illuminates them. Using a classical style, my objective is to create jewel-like pieces – artworks of intrinsic worth. Their beauty is their meaning and one which, I hope, will touch the soul and open a window of inspiration to all those that view them.”

Amongst a wealth of ambitious installations around the UK and Europe, she will be known to many for her impressive installation of Angel Heads in Paternoster Square, London.

Alan Kingsbury

Immerse Yourself in Dance Rhythms

Paul Slater

Waiting for a Chinook

Oil on board 61 cm x 122cm Panter and Hall

Oil on canvas 61cm x 122cm Medici Gallery

Alan Kingsbury was born in London in 1960 and began painting in oils at an early age. Through numerous exhibitions over the last 25 years he has become known for his idiosyncratic figure compositions motivated by surreal elements or unexpected juxtapositions. The paintings search for a kind of poetry of inner emotions within a framework that is ambiguously distant, elegiac and witty.

Paul Slater was born in Burnley, Lancashire, in 1953. He studied at the Royal College of Art, London, and won the prestigious Berger Travel Scholarship in his final year there. Since then, he has won The National Library Award and a Glenffidich Award and he was the Association of Illustrators Illustrator of the Year in 1996.

An Academician of the Royal West of England Academy, Kingsbury has lived and worked in Cornwall since 1991.

Paul exhibits in both the UK and internationally at galleries including the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford; the Medici Gallery, London; Dean Clough Galleries, Halifax and The Cutter Gallery, St Augustine, Florida, USA. His work has also been shown by the Royal Portrait Society and is bought by many discerning collectors including the Hermes Collection, Paris; the Conrans and many others. 23

Hector was born in Perth, Scotland in 1988. He studied painting and sculpting at the Charles H Cecil Studios in Florence for several years where his tuition focused on the naturalistic tradition of oil painting and sculpting using the ‘sight size’ technique. The image shown is a sculpture of Muir in the making – a striking likeness as all who have met him will agree.

cast iron 72 (Edition of 9)

Dutch sculptor Hanneke Beaumont trained in the United States and now lives and works in Brussels, Belgium. Her studio is in Pietrasanta, Italy, where she realises her emotive sculptures in terracotta, bronze and cast iron demonstrating her impressive fluency with materials. Beaumont is celebrated for her figurative work which features in both public and private collections across the world. Each figure is carefully rendered, with complex visceral surfaces, often suggesting a still thoughtfulness. Beaumont’s figures represent a universal type neither tellingly male or female, they explore the human condition. Beaumont’s latest public exhibition is currently open at The Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park, USA, ranked in the top 100 most-visited art museums in the world. http://video.bowmansculpture.com/HannekeB2.html

Buffalo Grill

Oil on canvas 50.8 cm x 76.2 cm Bourne Fine Art McFadyen was part of a diaspora of artists from the 1960s onwards which took to the East End of London. He moved from Scotland in the late 1970s and the streets of London Fields, and Docklands and its people, were his subject. Full blown urban landscapes, sometimes on a monumental scale, and witty - often challenging - portrayals of the people that inhabit this peripheral world, are what McFadyen is best known for.

Gordon Mitchell

RSA RSW RGI West Highland Geisha

Oil on canvas 81.3 cm x 101.6 cm Gordon Mitchell was born in 1952 and studied at Edinburgh College of Art. He embarked on a career in teaching before becoming a full-time painter in 1989. A prolific painter, Mitchell is often labelled a surrealist - he thinks not but certainly wants his work to be thought-provoking. Inspiration can be a group of words or a topical news story, but more usually itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a visual pun that provides the catalyst for his creativity. Routine and his own family - rather than the one he came from - have always meant much to Mitchell. He works hard and does not sleep much. He likes an intensive, regular, daily eight hours in his studio. Mitchell is an elected Member of the Royal Society of Painters in Watercolour (1997), the Royal Glasgow Institute (1998) and the Royal Scottish Academy (2005).

Peter Howson Mocking Christ

Mixed media, 48cm x 55cm, The Scottish Gallery

The rough hill farm countryside immediately around his cottage in the Scottish Borders provides Charles Simpson with a constant supply of material, particularly through snowy winters. As well as wintry Borders landscapes, Charles travels to the north-west coast and islands of Scotland every summer - particularly Durness, Achiltibuie and Wester Ross. The stunning beaches, changing seas, distant islands and mountains, and large dramatic skies provide for him the subjects that fill his canvases.

Born in London in 1958, Peter Howson moved to Scotland as a child and enrolled in Glasgow School of Art in 1975. During his final year his prodigious talent was recognized and nurtured by his tutor, Sandy Moffat, whom Peter credits with giving him the confidence to begin his career as an artist.
