Note: Adrian Wiszniewski creates work characterised by a strong drawing element and fertile imagination. Populated with contemplative figures set in vividly coloured Arcadian landscapes, his paintings are rich with symbolic, political and philosophical depths.

Wiszniewski is one of the leading members of the New Glasgow Boys responsible for the revival and resurgence of figurative painting under the tutelage of Sandy Moffat OBE; a group of artists that included Steven Campbell, Ken Currie and Peter Howson. His multiple awards include the Haldane Trust Award in 1982, the David Cargill Scholarship in 1983, the Mark Rothko Memorial Award in 1984, the I.C.C.F. Best Design Award New York in 1993 and the Lord Provost Gold Medal from City of Glasgow in 1999. His work can be found in many international public collections including The Gallery of Modern Art in New York, The Metropolitan Museum, New York, The Setagaya Museum, Tokyo, Japan, The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh, Tate Britain, London and The Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
