Join us for a tour of ‘John Bellany: A Life in Self-Portraiture’ which will have a BSL interpreter present. City Art Centre is proud to present a major exhibition of works by John Bellany, one of the most significant Scottish painters of the modern era. A Life in Self-Portraiture brings together over 80 autobiographical drawings, paintings, prints and sketchbooks, spanning from the early 1960s until the artist’s death in 2013.
John Bellany was one of the most prolific self-portraitists in history, obsessively documenting his own image throughout his lifetime. This exhibition captures the wide range of works created across different mediums, from carefully observed student studies, to his epic pictorial narratives where he disguised himself in different roles and fantastical characters. The exhibition contains works on loan from public and private collections across the country, including the artist’s estate, many of which have never been seen publicly before.
Please meet at the City Art Centre reception desk on the ground floor. Tour will last one hour.
Please note this tour is strictly restricted to our visitors who require a BSL interpreter.
