Biography:
Jock McInnes graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1967. His unusual approach to painting using gesso as the ground allows him to not only paint on the surface but also to inscribe into it. The white nature of the gesso ground gives his paintings a particular luminosity and is a technique borrowed from the Italian Old Masters. McInnes, who is a member of the Royal Glasgow Institute, has exhibited widely throughout the U.K. and is represented in a number of Public and Corporate collections.
