About the artist - Alasdair Wallace

Alasdair Wallace trained at Glasgow School of Art from 1987 to 1991. He exhibits regularly in Glasgow, Edinburgh and London and has won numerous awards including the prestigious Noble Grossart Painting Prize in 2001 and most recently the W.Gordon Smith Award in 2018.

Wallace is an accomplished draughtsman and technician. His works are sophisticated in terms of both their accessibility to the spectator, and the complexity of thought which lies behind them. In a style that is characterised by very controlled composition combined with an unusual density and richness of colour, Wallace creates what he calls landscape inventions. His works are held in public and private collections internationally.
