Profile
Anthony Scullion
ANTHONY SCULLION
‘Soulscapes’
Anthony Scullion is a graduate of Glasgow School of Art, 1992. He lived and was widely exhibited in South Africa and returned to Britain in 1998.
Scullion’s figures are darkly clad, richly painted and shadowy, as he aims to see beneath the flesh of his subjects. Scullion has studied Rembrandt’s chiaroscuro and Francis Bacon’s distorted faces and figures. The paintings are so reworked and layered that they seem to bleed and to live in a deeper world than our own, and so are often dubbed ‘soulscapes’. The lighter coloured space around the subjects, as above, highlights the mysterious and unique figure at the centre.
Anthony Scullion was awarded the James Torrence Memorial Award by the Royal Glasgow Institute of the fine Arts in 1991 and shortlisted for the Garrick-Milne Prize 1997. His appointment as a member of the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts further demonstrates his status as an important Scottish artist.
