Joe Hargan...Artist
Born in Glasgow in 1952, Joe Hargan studied drawing and painting at the Glasgow School of Art.
Joe Hargan has exhibited regularly since the early 1970's at such prestigious venues as London's Royal Academy, the National Portrait Gallery, the Royal Glasgow Institute of Art, the Royal Society of Watercolors, the Royal Scottish Academy of Art, the Paisley Art Institute and the British Watercolor Society. In 1985 Joe Hargan became a member of the Paisley Art Institute and in 1989 he was voted Chairman and President, a post he held for 11 years. In 1996 Joe Hargan was awarded the Paisley Art Institute diploma for the quality of his paintings and his service to Scottish art.
Joe Hargan's paintings, while remarkable for their diversity, are immediately recognisable and follow the rich tradition of vibrant, bold colourist Scottish paintings. Joe draws inspiration from many sources ranging from Italian renaissance art through to the vast tracts of colour seen in the work of Mark Rothko. The well-loved character 'Sniffy' has been a feature of joe's images for many years, and is now known and collected the world over.
