Jack Knox RSA RSW RGI HFRIAS
The renowned Scottish contemporary artist Jack Knox [b.1936] studied painting at the Glasgow school of Art and the Andre Lhote Atelier, Paris.
He was Lecturer in Drawing and Painting at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art 1965-1981 and Head of the Painting Studios at Glasgow School of Art from 1981-1992.
It was here, as a second year student, that I first met Jack. He entered the painting studios like a tornado and left you swirling. His exuberance and faith in the students under his care was a tremendous source of inspiration to us all. It is this boundless energy and great faith in humanity that lies at the heart of all Jack's work.
Jack Knox is the recipient of numerous awards and has recently received an Honorary degree from Glasgow university.
