Ken Ferguson

Ken
was born and brought up in Edinburgh and moved to Innerleithen in
1995. He began painting while studying chemistry at Edinburgh University
in the early 1980s. After several years combining a job in the NHS
with painting part-time, increasing success allowed him to to paint
full-time from 1990.
"I have always been fascinated by the representation of distance
- the wide open spaces of mountain tops and coastlines are a major
source of inspiration. My early work concentrated on coastlines and
lochs of northern and western Scotland but in 1993 a chance climb
in the mountains of Torridon fired an enthusiasm for hill-walking
and much of my work now reflects this. Maximum height, maximum clarity
is my ideal.
I work mainly in acrylic, though I often use watercolour. Seriously
flawed colour vision has led me to a very limited palette and a largely
tonal approach. Most of my paintings use only three or four colours
at most and I avoid reds and greens wherever possible. I often use
snow in my work to extend the tonal range."
