Dingwall was born in Clackmannanshire and is an alumnus of Edinburgh College of Art and Athens School of Fine Art, where he studied during the late 1950s and early 1960s. The artist’s works are often large-scale abstractions inspired by patterns seen in nature, such as those cast by sunlight. These ideas are explored through the psychological experience of surfaces and membranes, often painted in a limited range of colours.
The artist takes inspiration from a number of renowned Modernist painters and pioneers of Abstraction such as Piet Mondrian and Kazimir Malevich. Since the 1970s he has worked as a visiting artist and professor in many institutions including the University of Wisconsin, Minneapolis College of Art, Yale University and the Cleveland Institute of Art.
