IAN ELLIOT


Ian Elliot was born in Glasgow in1946. He attended Glasgow School of Art in 1964 but even prior to this he had won several medals for modern art Scottish paintings.
When he left the Glasgow School of Art he initially took up a career teaching modern art and eventually became Head of Modern Art at a large Glasgow school. He then decided to focus full time on painting contemporary art and became a working artist.
In 2003 he was a finalist of International Artist magazine for his Landscape painting.

His paintings are often inspired by his visits to the Scottish farmlands, Tuscany and Mallorca. He is quoted as saying

“Traveling extensively throughout the Scottish farmlands, an endless fascination for the Tuscan countryside and regular visits to me pied a terre on the Island of Mallorca have provided me with an endless land and seascape material creating a fusion of shimmering colours, distinctive buildings of the land, and abstract expressionistic vistas.”
