Ayrshire artist Jock MacInnes graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1967. His individual approach to painting (he prepares all his own gesso boards and canvases and manipulates the surface) helps create a distinct mood and atmosphere. This helps to give the work its special character; he doesn’t just paint onto a surface, he makes marks and paints into it.

Over the past two years he has spent the majority of his time in southern France enjoying life and enjoying painting.
