Artist Biography
Painter, maker of constructions and sculptures, and teacher, born in Inverness, Scotland. Studied at Gray’s School of Art, Aberdeen, 1961–7, including a period at Patrick Allan–Fraser School of Art, Hospitalfield, Arbroath. Then won a scholarship to British School of Art in Rome. Maclean came from a fishing family, and on his return from Rome he worked as a fisherman off Scotland. Meanwhile, he was showing in solo exhibitions, at 57 Gallery, Edinburgh, in 1968; and at Richard Demarco Gallery there, in 1970. When the Scottish International Education Trust commissioned Maclean to make a visual survey of ring-net fishing in 1973 it led to a creative burst of activity; the project was shown at Third Eye Centre, Glasgow, in 1978, eventually being acquired by Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. From mid-1970s Maclean also worked on sculptures and constructions which reflected his interest in the sea, fishing, Scottish history and folklore. Maclean is represented in many public collections including Aberdeen, Dundee, Hull, Perth, British Museum and Scottish Arts Council.
