Previously unseen paintings by Jack Vettriano will feature in an exhibition at the gallery where he sought inspiration as a young artist.
The show at Kirkcaldy Galleries in Fife will include 12 oil paintings he produced in his early twenties and thirties, signed with his birth name, Jack Hoggan. The works, painted before he achieved international success in the 1990s, will go on show alongside pieces that have sold for five and six-figure sums.
