* GEORGE WYLLIE MBE (SCOTTISH 1921 - 2012), SEAGULL AND CHICK
42cm tall
welded metal sculpture
42cm tall
Note: George Wyllie lived most of his life in Gourock and worked as a customs officer until he decided it was time for art and there began his pursuit of the "Question Mark". He entered into a four-decade long late-flowering career as an artist, achieving international acclaim. As an untrained artist, his creative output is made even more remarkable with iconic pieces such as The Straw Locomotive, which was a full size locomotive made out of straw, suspended by the Finnieston Crane in Glasgow and the 80 foot Paper Boat. George was a remarkable artist who reached out beyond the confines of the gallery to connect with people all over the world through his wit and thought-provoking art. Wyllie described his own art as "scul?ture" because he said "the question mark should be at the centre of everything".
