ART COLLECTION
Ken Lochhead (1936-2006) was born in Milngavie and grew up in East Lothian. He studied architecture at Edinburgh College of Art between 1955 and 1960. Ken was good at drawing and soon decided to make a name for himself as an artist becoming famous for his landscape and beach scenes. Favourite places to paint were the West Coast of Scotland, the fishing villages of Fife and East Lothian. Ken Lochhead’s main influences were Chinese and Japanese art, Turner and the Scottish Colourists. He constantly strived to convey the idea that “less is more”.
