The Italian Connection

Considered by many critics and curators to be the most significant Scottish painter of the twentieth century, John Bellany (1942-2013) will be celebrated in this summer exhibition at Open Eye Gallery.

The Italian Connection

About The Italian Connection

Coinciding with the 10th anniversary of his death, Open Eye Gallery will present works held by the Bellany Family, ranging from the urgency of his highly productive student years, until his final years of serenity, which he spent in the beauty of the Serchio valley in Italy. Close collaboration with the Bellany Family allows this exhibition to spotlight works that have rarely been on public display.
