Limited Edition Art Prints by Jack Vettriano

Jack Vettriano is a Scottish Painter born with the name "Jack Hoggan" on November 17th, 1951 in the seaside town of Methil, Fife.

His self-taught art earned him the nickname, "The People's Painter".

He didn't take up painting until the 1970's and even then it was only as a hobby. Apparently it was his girlfriend who bought him a set of Watercolors on his 21st birthday which began his journey into the arts.

His very first painting was under his original name "Jack Hoggan", and was a copy of Monet's "Poppy Fields". He first submitted his work to an Art Exhibition in 1984 at the Kirkcaldy Museum and Art Gallery.

He received his big break in 1988 when he submitted two pieces to the Royal Scottish Academy annual show, where both pieces sold on the very first day. He was then approached by several other galleries who became interested in his work, and at around that point moved to Edinburgh, Scotland where he changed his name to Jack Vettriano. This name "Vettriano" stems from his mother's maiden name where he added an "a".

His art tends to reflect the romantic film noir genre as well as some nude themes. If you had to categorize Vettriano as a painter he would be described as a Contemporary artist. Although he is said to get over six figures for an original piece, apparently he still earns more in reproductions.

Below you'll find Limited Edition Prints of his art, including "Dancer in Emerald", "On Parade", and "Blades".

Just Another Day, Limited Edition

by Jack Vettriano

There is something I Iove about this print. The name of the print along with the moody coloring and the woman walking along the street and rivers edge, really makes you wonder about her life.

She's just living her everyday life, as Vettriano so aptly called the painting, "Just Another Day". So what's on her mind, is she generally happy, or is she just having a bad day, is she feeling incomplete, or is she merely tired?

Long Time Gone Limited Edition Framed Print

by Jack Vettriano

Printed on Fine Museum Etching paper, this edition is limited to 250 prints.

A "Long Time Gone" features an older couple embracing in front of the Methil Power Station. This Fife Landmark was due to be demolished, and as you may have already read, Jack Vettriano's home town is Methill, Fife. It's easy to see why the power station would have some sentimental value and be featured in his art. In my opinion, the blue collar nature of the picture depicts a beautiful love amidst the struggles in an everyday real life that many people are living at this moment.

Again, this is only my opinion, but what I find appealing in this painting is that in this world of the media constantly promoting luxury living, luxurious items and super-beauty, this couple represents the larger majority of struggling working people, who no matter their age, love deeply.

Understanding Jack Vettriano's Style as a Painter

Where his Inspiration Comes From

Dance Me to the End of Love

From what I've read, understanding Jack Vettriano's inspiration is not a complicated feat. Being that he is a self-taught, self-made man, real life finds it's way onto his canvas. That realism allows you to feel the story he's painted, or imagine the story as you feel the painting.

He is said to have a lifelong obsession with provocative woman dressed in stockings, bright red lipstick and low cut tops. You'll see some of his art based on this.

Also look for his art to reflect another interest of his, "nostalgia" - He often paints places of the past, (sometimes from his past), dance halls, beach fronts and railroad stations.

Back Where You Belong by Jack Vettriano

A Poster Print - Not a Limited Edition Print

What I see here: A time when life seemed simpler. A man and a woman who have been apart for an extended period of time and whose arms ached for that connection they missed so much. They feel almost lucky to be sharing this time; as though being with each other is a rare and precious gift.
