Painting size: 3” x 4.5” (Approximately) Adrian Wiszniewski (Scottish b. 1958)
Byron and Annabella Oil on canvas, titled on front and signed on reverse
Painting: 10" x 12" Adrian Wiszniewski was born in Glasgow in 1958. He was educated at the Mackintosh School of Architecture and then the Glasgow School of Art from 1979 to 1983. He was influenced by New Image painting in the early 1980s, combining figurative art with social commentary. And he belonged to a group known as the New Glasgow Boys where he played a leading role. They were known in the mid 1980s with their "figure paintings as redolent of fantasy and myth as they were attuned to the workings of contemporary thought and everyday life." He gave his first solo show in 1984 in London and Glasgow; the Tate acquired some of his paintings at that time. Between 1986-87 his paintings resided at the Walker Gallery, Liverpool. Since then he tried different directions in his work. He was engaged with printmaking, sculpture, installations, furniture and interior design and writing. As an author he explored "new media as a central part of the art of communicating fresh ideas". In 2011 an exhibition of his recent paintings were shown at 108 Fine Art, Harrogate in a collaborative exhibition with the musician and artist Edwyn Collins. He has worked with the Scottish Philharmonic Orchestra in the production of the musical narrative The Girl, The Boy and The Hag and Adrian wrote and illustrated an accompanying book. Wiszniewski's paintings are held in collections including:

Pseudonym for Frederick Ernest Swedlun
Winter Landscape Oil-on-canvas, signed lower right
Painting Size: 21” x 24.75” Frederick Ernest Swedlun was born in McPherson, Kansas of Swedish parents. Wishing to escape farmlife, he moved to Chicago and began studies at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. In an attempt to minimize the anti-immigrant prejudice against Swedes, he began using the pseudonym “Ernest Fredericks”. Following his studies at the Academy, Swedlun exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago and in the All-Illinois art shows. He was also a member of the Chicago Society of Artists. In 1950, Swedlun and his family moved to Eureka Springs, Arkansas, where he found endless inspiration in the beauty of the Ozarks. There, he began signing with his real name, Fred Swedlun. With his son, Glenn, he painted and taught art in the Ozarks. This winter landscape, since it is signed with “Ernest Fredericks,” probably predates 1950 when he began to change his signature. Swedlun’s works are held in the collections of the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, the State of Illinois permanent art collection, and the Eureka Springs Historical Museum.
