The artist Jack Vettriano who was born in 1951 is one of the top artists in the UK at this time, his work as been described as ground breaking and breath taking, the inspiration for the art has for some been a complex mix of his background as a mining engineer and the upbringing he had in Fife Scotland.
Jack Vettriano paintings often have a figure in them whether it is someone skating along a broadwalk or two lovers in an embrace the inspiration of the artist shows through, there’s often a look of longing or a drifting off into fantasy from the main character in the piece, this could be indicitave of the artist looking to escape from his former regimented life as an engineer and looking to flurish as an artist.
The women in the Jack Vettriano paintings are like something from the 1920,s with that art Deco look of slender long legged confident women, sometimes smoking always beautiful, if you get the chance to see an exhibition of work by Jack Vettriano it is well worth the effort.
