Circa 1957
About the Item
This superb Scottish Abstract oil painting is by noted sixties Edinburgh artist Alexander McNeish. An early work, painted circa 1957 when McNeish was just 25 years old, it demonstrates the potential McNeish had and went on to fulfil. There are bold lines and colour and the heavy impasto has been applied with a knife in places and scraped away in others. A really strong, confident Scottish Abstract and an excellent example of McNeish's work during that early period.
Provenance. Artist's estate.
Condition. Oil on canvas, 28 inches by 18 inches unframed, in good condition.
Framed. Gallery frame 35 inches by 25 inches. Excellent condition.
Alexander McNeish (1932-2000), otherwise known as Mac was a Scottish artist who was an inovative figure in the 1960's Edinburgh art scene. Alexander McNeish was born at Bo'ness, near Linlithgow on the Firth of Forth, Scotland, the son of a coal miner. He attended Edinburgh College of Art from 1952 to 1957, studying under John Maxwell. In 1960 he exhibited with Albert Irvin at Galerie Im Griechenbeisl. Mac invited Irvin to stage an exhibition at the 57 Gallery. It marked a turning point in Irvin's career and the two developed a life-long friendship. McNeish played an extraordinary role as an exhibition's organiser, staging shows in disused shops and offices. Like Many Scottish artists such as William Gear McNeish moved south and taught at Wolverhampton College of Art in 1962 and was head of painting at Exeter College of Art and Design from 1965 to 1980. In 1963, 10 of his lino prints illustrated a Gael Turnbull book of poetry called A Very Particular Hill, a lino cut of his also illustrated a William McGonagall poem in the British periodical Poor. Old. Tired. Horse. His work can be found in the collections of the Manchester Art Gallery. the Royal Albert Memorial Museum, Exeter, the Arts Council and the City Art Centre in Edinburgh. McNeish was one of a group hard core Scottish art teachers known as the Scottish Mafia. His best work was a combination of spontaneous brushwork coupled with vibrant colour.

Studio 1528
By Frank Arnold
Located in Fresno, CA
"Studio 1528" Oil on Canvas presents a bold visage in blues and white on a mixed field dominated by blues and green tone.
Frank Arnold is viewed as one of the foremost abstract figurative painters and sculptors of our time. He is a living master guided by a personal mission to “turn on a light in the human soul,” through his passionate creation of “Messengers” from his deeper mind connection with Carl Jung's archetypal images, the collective unconscious, and Jungian Synchronicity. These unconscious forms from his deeper mind resonate as personal messages of universal acceptance, reaching out to the viewer.
Arnold has been honored as IAD Artist of the year 2018 by International Artist Day, and 2013 FAC Horizon Artist Award. He has exhibited his artwork in numerous galleries and museums, and is in collections worldwide. Arnold divides his working days between oil painting in San Jose del Cabo, Baja Sur...
