Note: Ramsay Gillies was born and raised in Edinburgh and attended Edinburgh College of Art, studying Graphic Design, life drawing and sculpture. He spent his working years as a graphic designer in Scotland, Bermuda, New York, Boston, London, coming home to Edinburgh in the mid seventies. He returned to sculpture around five years ago with a simple resolve to avoid repetition and keep it quirky. He is inspired by the folk art tradition and every piece is unique, fashioned mainly in metal and wood with interesting finishes.
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.
