Arthur Watson PPRSA has been a leading voice in Scottish contemporary art for almost half a decade. He studied Printmaking and Printed Textiles at Gray’s School of Art, Aberdeen, and would go on to found Peacock Printmakers, an artists’ print workshop, publisher and gallery.
His work focuses on a kind of ‘poetic conceptualism’, drawing from a range of experiences all linked to his knowledge of Scottish literature, music and geography.
Watson was also a founding board member of both the Scottish Sculpture Workshop and the 369 Gallery. In 1995 Watson was appointed Course Director of the Master of Fine Arts programme at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, and was President of the Royal Scottish Academy from 2012-2018.
His work is on display on the Wardlaw Museum Terrace.
