Jack Vettriano
Heavily influenced by film-noir, Jack Vettriano paintings have gathered worldwide acclaim with many of his limited edition prints being sold out.
Jack Vettriano was born in Fife, Scotland in 1951, before leaving school at 16 to work as an engineer.

The following years have seen him grow in commercial success and he is now regarded as one of the most successful artists of the modern age.
Jack Vettriano's original prints transform cinema into still life, with the focus often being on romance scenes that feel fresh out of old Hollywood but rejuvenated into the modern-day by an invigorating use of colour.
