Presenting paintings never seen before, he reappraises his creative output, including the relationship of portraiture to still life, placing him firmly within not only a Scottish context but a British and European one too.

He has rethought the formative influence of his art of two World Wars, gender inequalities and the modernist crisis of meaning and belief.
