An Artist’s Life Act I | The Media Response

26 June 2021

We are so pleased to share some of the coverage that Alexander Goudie An Artist’s Life – Act I has received in the press with you.

The Times

The Sunday Post

The artist thought big but honed his aesthetic to the last flourish, for a highlight on a ceramic jug or vital pentimento in a life drawing; attention to detail was obsessive and his art was an extension of his personality

The Edinburgh Reporter

Flamboyant and confrontational, Scottish figurative painter Alexander Goudie (1933-2004) was part of a generation of influential painters who graduated from The Glasgow School of Art in the 1950s, and whise reputations are ripe for reappraisal.

Art Mag

A beautifully-illustrated publication accompanies the exhibition, including vintage images of the artist and his family. A programme of events includes an appearance by Goudie's son, the artist, author and broadcaster, Lachlan, who will offer an insight into life with his father.
