Jock McFadyen: Pictures of Scotland

Jock McFadyen is known for his monumental paintings of urban wastelands. Iain Sinclair has called him ‘the laureate of stagnant canals, filling stations and night football pitches’. Less well known is that McFadyen has been quietly painting Scotland for many years. This show brings together a selection of his smaller Scottish pictures. These are elegantly installed in the gloaming of a disused warehouse off Barony Street, courtesy of Scotland’s oldest and largest auction house, Lyon and Turnbull. The venue for this installation reflects and counterpoints the iconography of these works.

Jock McFadyen was born in Paisley in 1950. His work is held in over 30 public collections including Tate, V&A, National Gallery, Imperial War Museum and the British Museum.
