[§] STEVEN CAMPBELL (SCOTTISH 1953-2007) YOUNG CAMPER DISCOVERING GROTTO IN THE GROUND Oil on canvas 284.5cm x 284.5cm (112in x 112in) Provenance: Asher Faure Gallery, Los Angeles; Purchased by Boake and Marian Sells Exhibited: Solo Exhibition, Barbara Toll Fine Arts, New York, 1983; Artificial Paradise, Asher Faure Gallery, Los Angeles, 1986; British Art: The Literate Link, Asher Faure Gallery, Los Angeles, 1988Steven Campbell was born in Glasgow and originally worked as a maintenance engineer in a steelworks in Cambulsang before attending Glasgow School of Art and becoming one of the leading Scottish figurative painters of his generation.Campbell worked alongside the artists Ken Currie, Peter Howson and Adrian Wiszniewski, a group which later became known as the ‘New Glasgow Boys’. While their artistic output was not homogenous they all shared an interest in figurative painting during the early 1980s which broke away from the conceptual and minimal trends in Modern art at the turn of the twentieth century.After graduating from Glasgow School of Art in 1982 Campbell won a Fulbright Scholarship to study at the Pratt Institute in the United States. Campbell worked from a studio in Brooklyn until 1986 and this period was key in establishing his status as an internationally renowned artist whilst raising awareness of Scottish contemporary art on a global scale.Young Camper Discovering Grotto in The Ground is a major work representative of this period. It appeared in a solo show held at the Barbara Toll Gallery in 1983. Within days of the show, the doyen of the New York art critics, John Russell, fully endorsed the painterly qualities of a young, unknown Scottish artist in his New York Times review. From here it was purchased by significant US contemporary art collectors, Boake and Marian Sells.Campbell had further solo exhibitions across the world in locations as far reaching as Galerie Pierre Huiber in Geneva (1986) and Marlborough Fine Art in Tokyo (1990). His artwork is influenced by a diverse range of literary fiction from tales by the author P.G. Wodehouse to murder mysteries, resulting in his artworks appearing to be humorous and unsettling. Campbell was also influenced by children’s book illustrations accounting for his use of a rich and vibrant palette which intensified after his U.S. period. Campbell’s surreal compositions cannot be read as a conventional fictional narrative and his imaginary worlds intentionally challenge the viewer with their dreamlike quality leaving his artwork open to multiple interpretations.Campbell’s brightly coloured acrylic painting, Rising and Friend, painted in 1994 depicts two figures in blue and red shirts, who seem to float weightlessly within an abstract yellow, purple and green matrix. A figure floats inanimately in the background, his arm limply extended, pupils dilated and a shadow cast across his tilted head while the figure in the foreground confronts the viewer face on with a glassy green eyed stare, the hypnotic effect of which is intensified by the closely cropped composition. The tilted perspective is a common feature of Campbell’s compositions and reinforces the perplexity of the narrative as the figures seem to float across the space in a fantasy world which is exempt from the earthly limitations of gravity.This large-scale ink painting, Untitled (Explorers in a Boat), is a piece from the installation On Form and Fiction which was originally exhibited in 1990 at the Third Eye Gallery, Glasgow (now the Centre for Contemporary Art). The other collective remnants of which were part of the major exhibition GENERATION which celebrated 25 years of Contemporary Art in Scotland reflecting the seminal role Campbell played in the success of the movement.Campbell saw himself as a ‘director, writer and producer’ of these other-worldly scenes and he often repeated the figures in multiple artworks as if they were a cast of actors. The ink painting depicts two figures in a white sailboat struggling to navigate a stormy sea and is typical of the theatrical narratives which Campbell is renowned for. Campbell’s expressive mark making accentuates the drama of the scene as the tempest engulfs the stark white sail giving the painting a captivating kinetic energy and emphasising the peril of the sailors.

[§] ALISON WATT O.B.E. (SCOTTISH B.1965) PLANTERS Signed, Glasgow School of Art label verso, oil on canvas 107cm x 138.5cm (42in x 54.5in) Provenance: Alison Watt's degree show at the Glasgow School of Art, 1988, where purchased by the current ownerALISON WATTWe are delighted to present a degree show work by renowned contemporary Scottish artist, Alison Watt, in this auction. Planters dates from 1986, the year before Watt graduated from the Glasgow School of Art, and, in a striking demonstration of her precocious talent, also the same year she won the prestigious John Player Portrait Prize (now the BP Portrait Prize). As a result, she was commissioned to paint the portrait of the Queen Mother, and the charming resulting work entered the collection of the National Gallery in London in 1989. Since her graduation Watt has had a high-profile and illustrious career, with solo exhibitions at the Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh, and the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. She was the youngest ever Associate Artist of the National Gallery in London from 2006-2008 and received an O.B.E. in the 2008 New Year Honours. In the period immediately after her graduation, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Watt was particularly known for her figurative work, particularly female nudes. At this point, the art world’s attention had been captured by a return to a preoccupation with the figurative through the bold, brash work of the New Glasgow Boys; a loose association of artists trained in the Glasgow School of Art throughout the 1980s, including Peter Howson, Adrian Wiszniewski, Steven Campbell, Ken Currie and Stephen Conroy. Watt was a contemporary of theirs, and was enmeshed in this community and moment, though she was working in a softer palette and with a stronger commitment to classical references.Planters dates from this period and in one striking, early work, sums up many of Watt’s artistic pre-occupations. The title itself is laden with meaning, referring as it does to both the figures and the central pot, and suggesting themes of new beginnings, growth, fertility, ritual and nourishment. The deep palette of browns, with beautifully toned blues and greens adding depth, shows her commitment to exploring subtle tonalities – as her career has progressed this has remained an on-going concern as she has moved through periods of working in greys and ultimately a lengthy exploration of white. There is a substance and directness to Planters; both figures, which bear a resemblance to the artist but aren’t quite a self-portrait, look out at us, while the paintings beyond, particularly the one showing an extending road, draw us deeper in. The portrait featured is in fact a self-portrait by Stephen Conroy, fellow art student, New Glasgow Boy and Watt’s boyfriend at the time.From the outset, Watt’s work has had a quiet power and lashings of symbolism but as her career has progressed she has moved away from figuration and portraiture. In her solo exhibition in 1997, she began introducing fabric as a subject in her work, and by her exhibition in 2000, she had given over to fabric entirely, showing twelve large canvas of swathes of fabric, the figure now only present in its lingering absence, and the suggestive imprints and textures it has left behind. Watt has continued in this vein for the last 18 years, finding endless inspiration and challenge in this captivating and elusive subject.The auction of Planters is a wonderful opportunity to see and potentially own a work by this artist from an important moment in her career, where she was just getting started, but her vision and talent was already beautifully established and whole.
