John Bellany
JOHN BELLANY (CBE)
‘I paint from my very soul and I want to move people, to get inside their hearts,' John Bellany
John Bellany studied painting at Edinburgh College of Art from 1960 to 1965. An Andrew Grant Scholarship took him to Paris in 1962 and he later studied at the Royal College of Art, London. In 1986, Bellany was awarded the first solo show ever at the National Portrait Gallery, London (NPG) and the NPG also commissioned his famous portrait of Ian Botham. Born in Port Seton in Scotland, Bellany's paintings often feature the work-roughened faces of the fishing community. Whilst experiences such as a visit to Buchenwald concentration camp, and later a liver transplant, ensure his paintings are renowned for their great emotional and allegorical depth, his recent move to Barga in Italy has resulted in a more optimistic aspect.
A Senior Fellow of the Royal College of Art, London, John Bellany is exhibited widely at major galleries, including the Metropolitan Museum, New York, and the Tate Gallery, London. The awarding of a CBE in 1994 demonstrates the level of Bellany's influence as a leading British artist.
