Walker Slater: Anthony Armstrong - Tweed Profiles

Anthony Armstrong is a Scottish painter with an international following. Presently, he is based in Perthshire but he has had studios in Glasgow, London and Washington D.C., with his work being part of public and private collections around the world. Emma Jacket paired here with the charcoal Donegal pattern Westray Trousers.

Public works hang in the Huntarian, the Transport museum and The Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow and in the Bank of Scotland in Edinburgh. Private commissions, besides portraiture, include landscapes and domestic subjects such as houses and work related pursuits e.g. ship building on the Clyde, for a naval architect. Corporate commissions include BP, the BBC, STV, and the RAC. His work covers a wide spectrum. Portraiture and landscape, with cityscapes being of special interest - still life's and places where people come together in the streets and cafe culture; an abiding interest in the human figure and an understanding of human nature. A rich and varied “oeuvre” which appeals to both the private art lover and the professional collector.
