Enjoy a virtual tour, click below Take a Tour Lot 80 Estimate: £50000 - £70000 + Fees § ◆ JACK VETTRIANO (SCOTTISH 1951-) RITUAL OF COURTSHIP Signed lower right, oil on canvas 81.5cm x 71cm (32in x 28in) Jack Vettriano is one of the UK’s best loved contemporary artists. Indeed his career might best be described as something of a phenomenon. The passion with which the public have taken his work into their hearts is rivalled by few others over the last 30 years. Vettriano was born Jack Hoggan in Fife in 1951 into a background of poverty. Famously completely self-taught, Vettriano was gifted a set of watercolours by a girlfriend for his 21st, thus beginning his passion for painting. His early work, signed Hoggan, was heavily influenced by Impressionism and the artists he observed at Kirkcaldy Museum and Gallery. Art became a burning passion, and in 1986 at the age of 36, he quit his job in educational research and moved to Edinburgh to pursue art full time. Though rejected from the Edinburgh College of Art, he submitted two paintings to the Royal Scottish Academy’s open exhibition in 1987. Both sold on the first day and a number of galleries immediately made their approach. What followed was a stratospheric rise to success with major gallery representation and shows that would sell out within hours. Reproductions of his most famous painting ‘The Singing Butler’ (1992) became the “best selling image” in Britain.

  • Jonathan Yeo at Lazarides Gallery
    Press Release: Jonathan Yeo ‘BLUE PERIOD’ at the Lazarides Gallery London 6 June – 11 July 2008 Jonathan Yeo, leading painter of the glitterati and politicians of our time, will present a series of new works, inspired by his famous George W Bush porn collage, at Lazarides Gallery London. Yeo’s skill in portrait painting has seen him receive commissions from a huge variety of high-profile personalities, from David Walliams to Erin O’ Connor, Dennis Hopper to Bush. Yeo’s depiction of Tony Blair in 2008 with its blood red remembrance poppy has become the iconic image of the British Prime Minister around the world. When Yeo’s talks with George Bush’s team slowly ground to a halt, he decided to use his art to offend a man he himself found offensive. The Bush porn portrait (illustrated above) became instantly famous internationally, representing a combination of both political satire and Yeo’s obsession with producing highly-crafted pictures. Now, using the same meticulous techniques, Yeo has created a unique series of collages that, on first glance, look like painterly works of art, but on close inspection, are for top-shelf viewing only. Demure, neo-Classical nudes and portraits and head Playboy honcho Hugh Hefner appear multi-dimensional and picturesque, but actually hide a multitude of sins. Through gradual layering of the thinnest pages from pornographic publications, Yeo carefully builds up variations in skin tone, nuance of colour and skillfull use of light and shade. The result is a series of works that signifies a dramatic new departure for the artist.

His earliest paintings, under the name "Jack Hoggan" , were copies or pastiches of impressionist paintings – his first painting was a copy of Monet's Poppy Fields . Much of his early influence came from studying paintings at the Kirkcaldy Museum and Art Gallery. In 1989 he submitted two paintings to the Royal Scottish Academy’s annual exhibition, both of which were sold on the first day of the exhibition. The following year three paintings were accepted for the prestigious Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy in London and from then on his career as a painter took off. His recent paintings are reminiscent of the film noir genre, often with romantic or nude themes.

    FAMOUS SCOTS Famous Scots Scotland is renowned for the huge impact its people have made on how we live today. From legendary warriors to great kings and queens, innovative inventors to inspiring writers and artists, the list of famous Scots keeps on growing. History St Columba 521-598 St Columba, born in 521 in Donegal, was an Irish Prince, but is better known for bringing Christianity to Scotland. He founded the monastery at Iona and set about the conversion of the Picts. Today, Iona remains a religious community. MacBeth 1005-1057 MacBeth was King of Scotland from 1040-1057, made famous by Shakespeare’s play of the same name. The real story chronicled portrayed him in a better light as a fair king in bloodthirsty times. He was the first Scottish king to make a pilgrimage to Rome in 1050. Robert the Bruce 1274-1329 Born in Turnberry Castle, Robert the Bruce was a key figure during the Wars of Independence against English occupation. He was crowned in 1306 and reigned until 1329.
