BIOGRAPHY
John Kirkwood (b.1947) is an Edinburgh artist working in mixed media, printmaking and photography. He attended Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee, 1965–70, doing a large number of jobs ranging from school teaching to labouring. Kirkwood was influenced by Dada and much of his subject matter is industrial and takes a pessimistic view of militarism.
His Solo shows include New 57 Gallery, Edinburgh, in 1972 and 1976; Printmakers’ Workshop Gallery, Edinburgh, 1974; and Talbot Rice Art Centre, Edinburgh, 198. Alexander Moffat OBE RSA describes Kirkwood as ‘one of the forgotten men of Scottish art. Everyone should know about him’.
