Label verso: Roger BIllcliffe Gallery, Glasgow.
Note: Studied at Glasgow School of Art from 1968 to 1975 during which time he won the Hutcheson Drawing Prize and completed a year of Post Graduate study in Fine Art. He was then awarded the Cargill Travelling Scholarship, a major travelling bursary that enabled him to develop research and works from Spanish and North African sources. As a recipient of a travel bursary from the Scottish Arts Council in 1985 he travelled to Central Africa as a means of furthering his two-dimensional and three-dimensional studies and produced many artworks sourced from indigenous cultures. The urge to continue such study has never abated, and in 1993, after a sojourn in the Indian reservations of America’s North Western States, he created an immense series of works that, with the endorsement of Glasgow City Council, filled the entire exhibition areas of the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall and was upheld in critical acclaim.

 

A condition report is offered as an indication of any issues visible to the naked eye. As none of our staff is a professional conservator or restorer, buyers must satisfy themselves in respect of condition and McTear’s can provide contact details of local professionals who can provide fully comprehensive expert reports, usually for a modest charge. The condition report does not form part of any contract between McTear's and the buyer, and all lots are offered "as is" in accordance with our Terms of Business available on our website.
