Biography
Peter King was born in Glasgow in 1953 and studied at Glasgow School of Art in the mid 70’s under the tutelage of
David Donaldson RSA and Duncan Shanks RSA, specialising in drawing & painting. He taught art and design for
over 30 years in North Lanarkshire, being Principal Teacher for over 20 years, and holds a senior marker’s position
with S.Q.A. In 2010, he retired from teaching to focus on painting professionally.
A regular exhibitor at the Royal Scottish Academy and The Royal Glasgow Institute, King was awarded The RGI
House for an Art Lover prize for painting in 2010. His work is represented in collections across the UK, Europe,
North America and Japan and has been featured in the Sunday Times Magazine fpr his contemporary British
landscape painting.
The light, colour and weathered landscape of Kintyre, The Clyde Valley and the vast panorama of land and sky
dominated by Tinto Hill and the Scottish Borders are a constant source of ideas and inspiration for King. He has
developed his paintings from a range of motifs, which he constantly returns to and reinterprets, focusing on aspects
of changing moods of light, weather and seasons. The sources of his ideas are the changing effects of nature and
the surrounding environment. Colour and the tactile qualities of paint are essential to his painting style; the marks,
free paint and the textured shapes become field, wood and sky.
