Jack Vetrianno Artist Research
Biography
Jack Vettriano, OBE was born Jack Hoggan on the, 17th November 1951. Vettriano a Scottish painter. His 1992 painting The Singing Butler became a best-selling image in Britain. Jack Vettriano was born in St. Andrews in Fife[1] and grew up in the industrial seaside town of Methil, about 30 minutes south of his birthplace. Vettriano took up painting as a hobby in the 1970s, when a girlfriend bought him a set of watercolours for his 21st birthday. His earliest paintings, under his birth name "Jack Hoggan", were copies or pastiches of impressionist paintings.
The practice
Vettriano is a self-taught artist in drawing and perspective who manipulates paint in veiled glazes and meaningful shadows. Vettriano's painting style has been compared to those of Hopper and Sickert. In many of his paintings, there is a hidden narrative, in enigmatic compositions, a starting point for dozens of short stories. I will focus on the more erotic themes paintings of Verttriano for inspiration in my folio.
Technique
Vettriano paints in a realistic way. His soft and blended brush strokes give a silky texture to his paintings. His use of extreme tone helps the image to stand out. His use of harmonizing warm colours are now iconic to his personal style.
Context
He claims he has drawn inspiration for his paintings from "25 years of sexual misbehaviour”. In 2010, he told The Independent: "I live in a world of heartbreak... I just seem to be more creative when I'm in some kind of emotional distress", adding "It's been four years of soul-searching – nicotine, alcohol, anti-depressants, temazepam”. According to The Daily Telegraph he has been described as the Jeffrey Archer of the art world, a purveyor of "badly conceived soft porn" and a painter of "dim erotica". According to Vanity Fair, critics say Jack Vettriano paints brainless erotica. Sandy Moffat, head of drawing and painting at Glasgow School of Art said "He can’t paint, he just colours in."

Joan Semmel Artist Research
Biography
Joan Semmel (born October 19, 1932) is an American feminist painter, professor, and writer. Semmel was born in New York. She began her artistic training at Cooper Union, where she studied under Nicholas Marsicano. Semmel returned to New York City in 1970 and earned an MFA from the Pratt Institute in 1972. Upon returning, Semmel was shocked by the number of sexualized images of women she saw on American newsstands. She began to paint in a figurative style and incorporated the erotic themes for which she is known today. Semmel has taught at the Brooklyn Museum of Art and the Maryland Institute College of Art. As of 2013, she is Professor Emeritus of Painting at Rutgers University. In 2000 Semmel taught at International Summer Academy of Fine Arts in Salzburg, Austria. About major themes in her work, Semmel states, "While my work developed through series, the connecting thread across decades is a single perspective: being inside the experience of femaleness and taking possession of it culturally."
The Practice
Semmel is best known for her large scale realistic nude self-portraits as seen from her perspective looking down. Her favourite medium is oil on canvas. Though Semmel has created many different series throughout her career, the majority of her oeuvre features themes of sexuality, the body, intimacy and self-exploration both physically and psychologically.
Techniques
Semmel’s highly saturated brilliant colour separated her paintings from the leading Spanish artists whose work was darker, greyer and Goyaesque. I also really like her heavy use of line in her surreal paintings.
Context
In New York, Semmel became involved in the feminist movement and feminist art groups devoted to gender equality in the art world. She has been a member of the Ad Hoc Committee of Women Artists, the Fight Censorship (FC) group, Women in the Arts (WIA), and the Art Workers Coalition (AWC). She spent seven and a half years in Spain (1963-1970), where her work, "gradually developed from broad gestural and spatially referenced painting to compositions of a somewhat surreal figure composition”
