Important informationfor buyers

Adrian Wiszniewski made his name as the most versatile anddistinctive of the famous New Glasgow Boys who led therevival of figurative painting in Scottish art during the 1980s.Their international standing was confirmed in 1987 withexhibitions worldwide, plus the acclaimed Edinburgh Festivalexhibition, 'The Vigorous Imagination' held at the ScottishNational Gallery of Modern Art.
Even seen from my current New York perspective, the glorydays of the New Glasgow Boys remain a highpoint. They gavecontemporary Scottish art a vital injection of ambition andenterprise. Yet it would have been all too easy for a key playerlike Wiszniewski to sit on his laurels. Happily, almost a quartercentury later, he continues to go out on a limb.
Wiszniewski is celebrating with an Edinburgh Festivalretrospective exhibition and auction. He has reason. His workis in 33 major museum collections, including New York’sMuseum of Modern Art and the Tate London. It's his silverwedding anniversary this year. His three children aged 16 to 23,are flourishing. He has just published his third book, 'Stone,'and one of his three plays, 'The Girl, The Boy and The Hag',appears at Pitlochry Festival Theatre.
So what is a painter doing in the theatre, you ask?Wiszniewski's gift is his fearless versatility. He loves toexperiment, explore, surprise. "I don't want to be locked awayin the studio. I need to communicate. I love collaboration;working with people with different skills. I learn so much thatway."
In exercising different muscles, Wiszniewski has hoppedaround from his characteristic, much loved paintings toneon, tapestry, ceramics, textiles, rugs, furniture, interiorsdesign, printmaking, ("I've always thought art should beuseful,") and laterly to novels, performance pieces and plays,Yet however challenging or adventurous the medium, there isno mistaking the hand. His work remains distinctivelyWiszniewski.
I first met Adrian when he was still a student at GlasgowSchool of Art. Even then he was ready to change horses inmidstream, moving from a four year architecture degree to adegree in Fine Art which he completed in 1983. Already hisbold and vibrant pictures of languid young men inhabitingdreamlike Arcadian settings were impressive. ForWiszniewski's paintings combine the appealing innocence ofdelicate visual poetry with strong, decorative, lineardraughtsmanship. Thus he hints at Britain's long tradition ofromantic art while nevertheless, his work is completely
3
contemporary, totally of today. When I was asked to curate thegroundbreaking Vigorous Imagination exhibition, Wiszniewskiwas among the first to be invited.
The works included in this exciting exhibition sale range from astudent charcoal drawing from 1982 to large scale, museumquality pictures, such as 'Crucifixion,' never shown before.Many titles reflect the Wiszniewski wit and his love of puns.One glowing neon is called, 'If in doubt use Black' while a 2canvas diptych 'Black & Blue' tackles an act of violence where,he explains, "Colour and content come together."
So what next? "I have a filmscript and a novel all ready, plusI'm hoping to collaborate on a ballet. As the studio is bare, Ican also get back to my painting. But now I'm off to play five aside football." At 52, one can but admire Wiszniewski'sundiminished determination to do it all!

Note:Wiszniewski started using neon in1989 as an antidote to his heavilyworked canvases and as a verydirect means of communicating to anew audience. Duncan Millercomments in his introduction toWilliam Hardie’s 1994 exhibition :-’Neon signs are composed of colourand line, the two most basicelements of the language of westernpainting. In Wiszniewski’s neonworks colour and line are ascompletely alive as in any painting,yet they are freed from the burden ofartistic ‘self-expression’ by the waythey are reduced to mechanicalform. Works like these are a new,technological version of thatidealism which links Matisse’s papercut-outs to the neo-classicaltradition.
