CHARLES McQUEEN PAGE

Charles MacQueen was born in Glasgow in 1940, educated at St Aloysius College and then attended the Glasgow School of Art. He is an elected member of the Royal Glasgow Institute (1983)and the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour(1984). In 1994 he was elected vice-president of the RSW. He has exhibited widely - most recently at The Open Eye Gallery in Edinburgh and The Adam Gallery, Bath. Charles has won numerous awards including in 1997 the Council Award of the RSW/. By using textured levels of paint and gesso Charles depicts the sensation or experience of a place.Charles wrote recently...."The forms I use are forms remembered or dreamt about. The stark visual contrasts of moving between strong blinding sunlight and dark bazaars full of rich reds, golds and turquoise inhabit my paintings. This is like being put down to sleep in a darkened room with strong sumlight streaming through the shutters. This is not representation but an evocation".
