Vettriano – The Early Years dates announced

Kirkcaldy Galleries to host an exhibition of Jack Vettriano’s early paintings

Kirkcaldy Galleries

4th September 2020 – 15th November 2020

Kirkcaldy Galleries is exhibiting a selection of paintings created by the artist from the time he began painting in his early 20’s until he moved to London in 2000. Among the work being showcased there will be a number of paintings signed with the artist’s birth name Jack Hoggan. These paintings show the diversity of subject matter and styles tackled by the young artist in learning his craft, eventually giving him the confidence and technical ability to develop his own identifiable style. The majority of the exhibition is devoted to work from Vettriano’s exhibitions in Edinburgh, Newcastle and London from 1990 – 2000 and included are a number of the artists most definitive and best loved works which were produced during this period. All the paintings are on loan from private collections and many of the paintings have never been on public display.

Jack Vettriano said ‘l’m delighted to be returning to my former home town of Kirkcaldy for a major exhibition of my early work which is fitting as its where my formative years as an artist began’.

Heartbreak Gallery in London will be hosting an exhibition of twenty paintings by Scottish artist, Jack Vettriano, curated largely from private collections. Other works to be displayed include a number of previously unseen works by Vettriano, which have come directly from the artist’s studio. Many of the paintings featured in this exhibition are touring on loan to Heartbreak, following the recent Retrospective of the artist’s work held at Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum in Glasgow, which received a record-breaking 130,502 visitors during its 5 month run.

For Vettriano fans who were unable to visit the Retrospective exhibition in Glasgow, Heartbreak Gallery will be offering one last opportunity of seeing some of the works that were featured in this much talked about event. The works to be displayed in London range in date from 1992 to 2012 and include famous works such as ‘Elegy for a Dead Admiral’ and ‘Pendine Beach’, amongst other, lesser known works to be seen.

Alongside the exhibition of originals, Heartbreak will also be launching The Red Room Collection – a series of five of Jack Vettriano’s more erotic images, published for the first time as signed, limited edition prints.
