Description
* STEPHEN FRENCH (SCOTTISH b. 1953), BROUGHTY FERRY, STILL WATERS
image size 22cm x 69cm, overall size 35cm x 82cm
acrylic on board, signed, titled verso
framed
image size 22cm x 69cm, overall size 35cm x 82cm
Note: Stephen French is a Dundee and Kilchoan based artist who likes to keep his work eclectic and to stay open to new directions, so subjects and media are always morphing. Yet his technique, palette and composition remain consistent. He enjoys combining traditional painting skills with a subversive take on artists’ clichés but with the overall imperative of visual decoration. Born in Clydebank in 1953, Stephen went to Dundee Art College and graduated BA in Drawing and Painting in 1975 and then in 1976 received the Greenshields Award to study painting in Paris. He went on to have an extremely successful career in design, winning two Design Centre Awards. He was a consultant with The Design Council and became a member of Memphis Milano. Becoming disenchanted with the industry, he returned to painting full time and has gone on to exhibit at the Pompidou Centre, Tokyo Museum of Art, the Barbican and the Victoria and Albert Museum. His work is also regularly exhibited at galleries around Scotland.
