GALLERIES

16 GALLERIES NOVEMBER 2017 Contemporary Scottish painters, unlike their English counterparts, would never seem to have any hang ups about whether they are abstract or figurative painters or whether they are comfortable around colour. They have, of course, a powerful painterly tradition behind them, one that goes back into the late 19th century, Fergusson, Peploe et al, not to mention the cultural ramifications of the ‘auld alliance’ with France, and it seems to give them a huge freedom of manoeuvre. All this is illustrated by the gorgeous landscapes, still lifes and abstracts by John Kingsley currently on show at Doubtfire Gallery . Kingsley may be a Glasgow boy – born, trained at the art school, living and working there, but he paints with a remarkable sense of cosmopolitan exuberance and intense visual enjoyment.
