From the article ‘Welcome to Planet Art’ by Duncan Macmillan and Susan Mansfield
At the Flying Colours Gallery stand owner Jane Houldsworth has high hopes for the landscapes of Ethel Walker, and a new signing, the figurative painter Angela Reilly, whose nudes have already caught the eye of the judges at the BP Portrait Competition. “We’ve done the same stand in the same place for nine years, so we’re getting the hang of it”, says Houldsworth. “This is one of our favourite fairs, we wouldn’t miss it for anything.”

In The Picture: Amazing Art from £500 by Eleanor Cowie
Artist: Anthony Scullion
Age:40
Lives: Glasgow
Trained: Glasgow School of Art
Gallery: Flying Colours Gallery
Stand number: 43
Price Range: £500-£11,000
Glasgow based Scullion is known for his fine draughtsmanship and emotionally charged works. He has shown with the London based Flying Colours Gallery since the late 1990s, Jane Houldsworth, it’s director, is singularly effusive about his work. “It is deeply intuitive”, she says. “Concentrating on the body of usually one individual per painting, Scullion invests these with forms and colours that hark back to the tradition of the Dutch masters.
“The paintings are emotionally powerful. Yet at the same time they are unique and gentle and they provoke strong reactions.”
Scullion’s paintings combine the solidity of human presence with atmospheric spaces. “They resonate the chiaroscuro of Rembrandt, the spirituality of Giocometti and the distortion of Bacon,” adds Houldsworth. “I have sold Tony’s work all over the world. They are very collectible pieces.”
