Resipole Studios Fine Art Gallery in Acharacle, Argyll is featuring artist Stephen French. While his subjects are the eclectic ever-changing targets of a restless artist, his technique, palette and compositions remain consistent, combining traditional painting skills with a visually-decorative subversive take on artistic clichés. Clydebank-born, and graduating in Drawing and Painting at Dundee Art College, he won the Greenshields Award to study painting in Paris, and enjoyed a successful career in design, winning two Design Centre Awards. Returning later to painting, he went on to exhibit at Paris’ Pompidou Centre, Tokyo Museum of Art, and the Barbican and Victoria and Albert Museum in London. He works mainly from his studio in Kilchoan in Ardnamurchan, the westernmost artist’s studio on the British mainland.
