Note: Rattray was born in 1954 in Dundee and died in 2000 and his love for the city was amply illustrated through his multitude of paintings of local scenes. His style was totally unique, taking freely from cubism, surrealism and expressionism where it helped him to portray Dundee’s patchwork architecture and the eccentric characters he knew. Rattray graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone in 1987 with first-class honours and he was the recipient of the Royal Scottish Academy’s Maclaine Watters Prize.
