Alison Watt is the seventh Associate Artist at the National Gallery, and the youngest in the scheme's history.
Born in Greenock in 1965, Watt is a painter who studied at the Glasgow School of Art. In 2000 she became the youngest artist to be offered a solo exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art.
Her recent work demonstrates a deep fascination with the possibilities of the suggestive power of fabric. A childhood trip to London to visit the National Gallery resulted in a lifelong admiration for Ingres's 1856 portrait 'Madame Moitessier', a picture that has been a constant source of inspiration for her.

Very thoughtful video I love Zurbarans work he is overlooked in all our art history and yet was highly influential on the likes of Velazquez,el greco and picasso and now another artist who is creating real painting.

I think it is Zurbarán’s "Saint Francis in Meditation", read it off an article :)

I think the essence of the comment is about how artists have influenced each other throughout history..... an interesting point to make...The appreciation of art is, and always has been a subjective activity....

I like the paintings but I can’t help thinking how frivolous the subject matter once painted repeatedly. All the ridiculous commentary that accompanies the paintings makes me want to strike the artist. Where has all the authentic talent gone in the world?

I would say there is a delicate and subtle beauty to the painting that is sort of trampled by over analysts and excessive praise.
