Alastair Flattely (1922 - 2009) was one of Scotland's most distinguished landscape painters.
He studied at Edinburgh College of Art from 1945-1950, awarded the Andrew Grant Fellowship in painting. As a teacher, he was Vice-principal and Head of Fine Art at Gloucestershire College of Art from 1960-1972 and Head of Gray’s School of Art, Aberdeen between 1972 and 1987.
From 1949-1952 he painted directly from landscapes but from 1953-1955 became semi-abstract, depicting fantasy landscapes. After 1955 he returned to work directly from the view before him. His prime concern is lighting and colour. An elected member of the Royal West of England Academy he exhibited at the RA, RSA, RSW, RGI and AAS, and held solo exhibitions at Aberdeen University, the Scottish Gallery Edinburgh and at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh. Examples of his work are in the collections of Aberdeen Art Gallery, Dundee Art Gallery, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Glasgow and Cheltenham Art Gallery, as well as HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, Nuffield Foundation, Somerset County Council and private collections in Britain and abroad.
