Jack Vettriano, otherwise known as Jack Hoggan, was
born on 17. of November 1951 in
Methil, Fife, Scotland. His parents are of Italian origin. Jack
Vettriano has been working for the last two decades as a very successful
painter. The style of Vettriano’s art is often described as sentimental,
mysterious, and often melancholic.
Jack
Vettriano’s birth name is Jack Hoggan. He grew up in the industrial coastal
city of Mehil. Vettriano left school when he was16 years old, to work in the
local coal mine. His goal was to becoming a mining engineer.
Vettriano’s
first painting was a copy of Monet’s poppy fields – still signed with the name
Jack Hoggan. In 1988, Jack changed his name to Jack Vettriano, by adopting his
mothers maiden name. Jack exhibited two of his paintings at the Royal Scottish
Academy. The submission of his paintings aroused public interest in his work,
and Jack soon secured enough income to devote himself fully to being an artist.
Vettriano’s
most acclaimed and best-selling work is The Singing Butler. Interestingly, it
was dismissed by the summer exhibition at the Royal Academy in 1992. However,
sold at auction twelve years later for a fabulous £ 744,500.00.
Today, Jack Vettriano, works in his studios in London and
Kirkcaldy, Scotland. More Jack
