John Houston (born 1930)
Untitled, 1993
John Houston was born in Buckhaven, Fife, and studied at Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) from 1948 to 1954. He taught at ECA on his return from travelling in Italy. In 1957 he helped start the 57 Gallery, Edinburgh, and exhibited there in his first solo show in 1958. He travels widely and exhibits throughout the world.
Houston works in the best tradition of Scottish Expressionism. He is known for his intense atmospheric landscapes exploring the dramatic effects of weather and light. His remarkable paintings of the Bass Rock in the River Forth have become a theme for his art, but he is also recognised for his exciting studies of flowers.
