Jack Morrocco Exhibition

28 July - 17 August 2012 at Fraser Gallery, St. Andrews.

Recognised as one the leading Scottish painters, Jack Morrocco started his studies at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design in Dundee. During his time here, where “…It was all about draughtsmanship and classical training….”, he was tutored by renowned artists, David McClure, Jack Knox, Gordon Cameron and, of course, Alberto Morrocco.

Today, Jack works from his studio here in Fife, Scotland and also from his second studio on the Cote d’Azur in the South of France and has developed a powerful and unique style, which is distinctively his own. Whilst technique and application of paint may vary with subject – the dappled light across a French market square, the captivating reflections in his traditional still lifes and his modern studio pieces – each work shares the vibrant, sensuous palette associated with the artist which sees him move with ease and confidence from still life, both traditional and modern, to landscape and then to figurative.
