We are delighted to present this focused exhibition featuring work from throughout David Michie’s career. Born in Saint-Raphaël, France, the son of painter Anne Redpath, David Michie (1928-2015) graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 1953 following a travelling scholarship to Italy with fellow student John Houston. He lectured at Gray’s in Aberdeen and from 1961–1982 at Edinburgh from where he retired in 1990 as Head of School of Drawing and Painting. He died in Edinburgh in 2015 and The Scottish Gallery held his Memorial Exhibition in March 2017, celebrating the life and work of one of Scotland’s most enduring image makers.
