Some Information About Artists Paul Horton & Jack Vettriano
There are some amazing British painters about now a days and frequent amounts of them have erected from obscurity to become famous. A lot of these British artists have made a name for themselves by selling art prints of their work, which are more affordable. On a visit to Southampton recently I even saw Jack Vettriano and Paul Horton prints for sale in a shopping centre.
Paul Horton Is said to be a current day Lowry. He has been painting since he was a youth of only 10, where he was encouraged by his art teacher to embrace his skill, little was known that those important times would be the foundation for the future of Horton’s art and the exaltation he would bring to the people of today.
He turned professional in 1997 but found it hard to enter the world of the elusive art industry until he found someone who understood his art and helped him into the art world. Now he is internationally known and his art shown in over 200 galleries worldwide and produced by one of Europe’s best fine art publishers Washington Green.
Artist Jack Vettriano was born in Scotland, in the city of fife, where he finished school at 16 to become a mining engineer. On his 21st birthday, his partner bought him a box of watercolour paints, and then Vettriano began to start teaching himself how to paint. This new interest of his, and it began to grow inside of him until it eventually became second nature to him, and he spent most of his free time painting.
In 1989, he felt the need to find out if his paintings were good enough, so he prepared and sent off two of his paintings to the ‘Royal Scottish Academy’ whilst they were holding an exhibition. He didn’t really understand that his paintings were brilliant, but however, they were both accepted and sold all in the same day, which shocked him many times.
