He is an academician of the Royal Scottish Academy (elected Associate, 1996, Academician, 2005), was elected a Professional Member of the Society of Scottish Artists in 1971〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=Society of Scottish Artists (SSA) )〕 and a member of the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts in 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts. (RGI) )〕 Forbes studied at Edinburgh College of Art from 1964-1968, and was awarded an S.E.D postgraduate scholarship there from 1968-1969. He later studied education at Jordanhill College, Glasgow, from 1970-71.〔 After periods between 1969 and 1973 when he taught in the secondary and further education sectors, Forbes moved into teaching posts in art schools. He was Head of Painting in both Crawford School of Art, Cork (1974–78) and Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, University of Dundee (1995-2001), where he also established and directed the Masters Course in Public Art and Design and the MFA Course from 1983-1995. He was a lecturer at Glasgow School of Art (1979-2003), and is Honorary Visiting Professor of Fine Art at the University of Abertay, Dundee, (2003–present).〔 He has also served on the boards of a range of trusts and arts charities including Hospitalfield Arts, Perthshire Public Arts Trust, Dundee Public Art Programme, Workshop and Artist Studio Provision Scotland (WASPS) and the Glasgow League of Artists.〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=Summary of the origins and work of the Glasgow League of Artists 1971-1981 in The Glasgow School of Art Archives )〕 == The Work == Forbes’s art reflects the complex visual languages of modern life while referencing mythology and art history, and, as Dr Tom Normand wrote in "Portfolio: Treasures from the Diploma Collection of the Royal Scottish Academy", 2013, “his work has explored a philosophical discourse that speculates on the nature of reality.”〔 Dr Peter Hill noted in his essay in "Ronald Forbes: (mind)games", 2005 that Forbes is regarded as one of Scotland’s leading figurative painters, while Dr Carol Gow, writing in Cencrastus issue 36, 1990, noted that Forbes prefers the term “imagist” rather than “figurative.” Dennis Adrian, Chicago historian, critic and collector, wrote in Riddles and Puzzles: Paintings by Ronald Forbes, : “Ronald Forbes is a metaphysical painter out of the necessities of his own perceptions. His metaphysical qualities are those which can be found in much modern and older art; a sensibility which evidences an unshakeable conviction that the full perception and comprehension of our experience are not and cannot be achieved through logic alone and that there are other forms of knowledge to which we have access in art through images and symbols as well as the forms and colors which manifest them. : In Forbes’s painting, this sort of awareness (logical thought plus perceptual awareness) is a disrupted state in which no one single structural system or vocabulary of images has primacy. Accordingly, Forbes’s imagery seems never to be presented through a consistent and uniform language of form and image, but usually presents several such systems simultaneously within a “single” composition. The result has been called collage-like.” 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ronald Forbes (artist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
