Timeline
In 2017 Watt was made a Fellow of The Royal Society of Edinburgh.
Pears dates from the 1990s when Watt's work focused on highly realistic nudes posed on drapery. The model used here is one she painted frequently at the time. Pears was offered for sale at a Sotheby's London auction on 18 November 2015.
Watt's work has been widely exhibited. Her paintings are held in many public collections, including The National Portrait Gallery, London, Glasgow Museums, Aberdeen Art Gallery, Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Scottish Parliament Art Collection, Southampton Art Gallery, The Freud Museum, London, The Fleming Collection, London, The British Council, and The Uffizi Gallery, Florence. In 2012 the Scottish National Portrait Gallery purchased her Self-portrait painting (1986/7) from her private collection for £20,000, to celebrate its re-opening after a refurbishment.
From January 2006 to February 2008, Watt served as the seventh and youngest Associate Artist at the National Gallery, London. She worked within the gallery, and explored an enduring fascination with one particular painting in the collection, Zurbaran's St. Francis in Meditation (1635–9). The work she created in this time was displayed in a solo exhibition called 'Phantom', in the Sunley Room, running from 12 March to 22 June 2008. The same year, she was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2008 New Year Honours.
In Summer 2005 she took part in the Glenfiddich residency.
Watt exhibited during the Edinburgh Festival 2004, installing a 12 ft painting Still, in the memorial chapel of Old St Paul's Church. Linen bound books were published to commemorate each exhibition. For Still, Alison Watt was awarded the 2005 ACE (Art+Christianity Enquiry) award for 'a Commissioned Artwork in Ecclesiastical Space'.
Her subsequent project 'Dark Light' was supported by her Creative Scotland Award of 2004 from the Scottish Arts Council.
In 2000 she became the youngest artist to be offered a solo exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art with an exhibition called Shift, with 12 huge paintings featuring fabric alone.(source National Gallery, London) In 2003 Watt was shortlisted for The Jerwood Painting Prize.
Alison Watt was born in Greenock, Scotland. She graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1988. While still a student, she came to national attention by winning the 1987 John Player Portrait Award and as a result was commissioned to paint a portrait of the Queen Mother. Her first works to become well known were dryly painted figurative canvases, often female nudes, in light-filled interiors. An exhibition of her work entitled Fold in 1997 at Edinburgh's Fruitmarket Gallery was the first introducing fabric alongside these figures, simultaneously suggesting a debt to the 19th-century French painter Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, as well as pointing to the possibilities of abstraction.
Watt's 1986–87 Self-portrait was painted while still a student. She was ill at the time and she depicts herself with her hand across her forehead, as if checking her temperature or perhaps indicating she was feeling faint. Watt has rarely engaged in portraiture since her early career. The painting was presented to the Scottish National Portrait Gallery to celebrate its re-opening in 2011.
Alison Watt OBE FRSE RSA (born 1965) is a Scottish painter who first came to national attention while still at college when she won the 1987 Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
