Ian Elliot (12 August 1946 – 3 July 2021) was a modern Scottish artist known for abstract expressionist painting.[5]

Early life

[edit | edit source]

Ian Scott Elliot was born on August 12, 1946, in Glasgow, Scotland. He attended the Glasgow School of Art (GSA) from 1964 to 1968. After graduating from GSA he attended Jordanhill College for teacher training 1969-1969. He worked as the Head of Art & Design in King's Park Secondary School for 16 years.[1] He left teaching 1997 to focus on the development of his artistic career.

Artistic career

[edit | edit source]

Inspired by travel throughout his homeland of Scotland, Italy, France, and the island of Mallorca,[6] Ian Elliot’s expressive oil on canvas artwork is known for incorporating the strong and vibrant colors of the Mediterranean with modern impressionist movement, rhythm and pattern.[7][8]

The Glasgow born artist’s distinct style and vivid colour palette is largely inspired by his Mediterranean travels.

In 2002 A Place in the Sun (British TV series) followed Ian Elliot as he travelled from Scotland to Calvià Mallorca and broadcast him painting "Calvia" - oil on canvass in January 2003.[3] A long-standing artist member of the Paisley Art Insitiute,[10] he was a finalist in the 2003 International Artist magazine global landscape competition. From 2012, Ian Elliot’s name was listed in the Morven Press’s ‘Who’s Who In Art.[1] In 2013, International Artist magazine featured Ian Elliot in a ten page in-depth article illustrating his working process on the painting Rendezvous, Mallorca.[4] And in 2016 was featured in Pratique des Arts n° 135.[11] He exhibited at solo and joint exhibitions throughout his career.

A colorist at heart, Ian Elliot’s work conveys the warm atmosphere of the Mediterranean.
