Alan Davie
BIOGRAPHY
Alan Davie (1920-2014) was a Scottish painter and musician. Born in Grangemouth and having studied at Edinburgh College of Art, Davie worked initially as a jazz musician.
A large focus of his work was spontaneous mark making, arguing that his spiritual path was incompatible with planning ahead. His work often blends the abstract and the figurative, influenced by Pictish symbol stones, Jungian psychoanalysis, maps, Abroiginal art, contemporary abstract painters and music.
Davie's work can now be found in collections all over the world, including the Art Institute of Chicago, National Galleries of Scotland, Peggy Guggenheim Museum in Venice, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Harvard University Art Museums, and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
