About MeJohn Bellany is a prolific artist, working in oil paints, watercolour and printmaking and from the 1980s onwards, he has achieved international acclaim as one of the foremost Scottish painters working today.

He is a contemporary artist who has rejected total abstraction or multi media in favour of expressionism. Bellany's technique in watercolour is similar to his use of oil paints: in both, draughtsmanship, line and bold pigments produce powerful and striking images.
