In less than ten years, Jack Vettriano has
emerged from obscurity to become Britain's foremost contemporary narrative painter
despite having never received any formal art school training. Born in Scotland in 1954,
Vettriano left school at sixteen to become a mining engineer in the local coalfields.
For his twenty- first birthday, a girlfriend gave him a set of watercolour paints and,
from then on, he spent much of his spare time teaching himself to paint. The local art
gallery, The Kirkcaldy Museum and Art Gallery, with its renowned collection of 19th and
20th century Scottish paintings, was particularly inspirational.
In an era when pickled sharks, blow-up dolls and rotting fruit can be purchased for the nation in the name of art, the refusal to contemplate Vettriano seems increasingly perverse. Once, Vettriano explains, he sent The Singing Butler to the Royal Scottish Academys summer exhibition. It was turned down. "What concerns me is that the curators of galleries are spending public money, but not listening to the views of the people of the UK," he says. "They are pleasing themselves. It doesnt bother me as much as it used to. There are some days when I care more than others, but on balance I care much less than I did. "Ive realised at last that being self-taught, being shut out of the art world is an advantage." Vettriano enjoys his popularity, but is modest and ironic about his abilities. "I cant go anywhere else artistically because I dont know where to go: I dont have the education. I know Im not cutting-edge, I know Im not pushing boundaries. Im just making half-decent pieces of wallpaper." Vettriano originals do not paper the walls of either the Scottish Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh or the Tate in London. The curators of the galleries, Richard Calvocoressi and Nicholas Serota, are reluctant to discuss the merits of Vettrianos works. A spokesman for the National Galleries of Scotland says: "We take our commitment to Scottish art very seriously and the current generation of highly-acclaimed Scottish artists is well-represented. However, our resources are balanced against continually competing priorities, and inevitably there are limitations to what we can acquire." Vettriano doesnt need critical acclaim to pay the bills. He has homes in Fife, Oxford and Belgravia, London, and earns £500,000 a year from reproductions of his work. Yet his rejection rankles and many in the art world feel he merits more recognition.
