James Fullarton
Born in Glasgow, James Fullarton studied at the Glasgow School of Art under David Donaldson, Alexander Goudie and Duncan Shanks. Since 1969 he has been painting full-time, living and working in Ayrshire. He is a regular exhibitior at The Royal Scottish Academy and The Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts and shows regularly in London. James Fullarton is essentially a modern day Colourist, he enjoys painting in the West of Scotland, using a broad palette with colour always the dominant feature. His subject matter includes landscape, portraiture and still life executed in both oil and acrylic. He is best-known for his wonderful still lifes of poppies, marguerites etc vigorously rendered with broad, powerful strokes on large canvases. They speak as much of the process of painting itself and of the feelings this brings out in the painter, as it does of the source of inspiration and colour before him.
His work hss been acquired for many public, corporate and private collections
