About the artist
Born in 1946 in Glasgow, James Fullarton is a distinguished painter in Scotland's contemporary art scene. After graduating from the Glasgow School of Art in 1969, Fullarton built a thriving career, making his home and workspace in Ayrshire, Scotland's western coast. He's known for his proficient fluid brushwork, dynamic use of colour, and a diverse palette, mastering both oil and acrylic mediums. Fullarton's diverse subjects range from vivid still-life to acclaimed landscape and harbor scenes painted en-plein air. His remarkable portrait work further enhances his reputation. His art, featuring intense colours, bold layouts, and expressive thick impasto strokes, is inspired by the shifting light's effect on common objects. Fullarton's works, whether rapid small studies or grand landscapes and dramatic still lifes, radiate the spirit of a modern-day Colourist.
