What is Contemporary Painting in Scotland about?

Contemporary Scottish art gained international recognition in the 1980s, both in terms of the increasing reputation of established artists like Alan Davie, John Bellany, Bruce McLean and Elizabeth Blackadder but also with regard to a number of important emerging painters. Many of the themes of international 'New Painting' in the 1980s - bold figuration, evocative narrative, emphatic technique and poetic atmosphere - are also characteristic of contemporary Scottish art but, as can clearly be seen here, Scottish painting has at last rediscovered its own voice. This timely book describes recent events in contemporary Scottish painting and provides fascinating profiles of 48 notable artists. This is the first major overview of contemporary Scottish painting.
