§ WILL MACLEAN M.B.E., R.S.A., R.S.W. (SCOTTISH 1941-) RITUAL OBJECT / DIDACTIVE SHOWCASE, 1983 Signed and dated '83 within base of box, signed and inscribed with title and dated verso, mixed media boxed construction (117cm x 40 x 19cm (42in x 16in x 11.5in)) Exhibited: Leinster Fine Art, London Footnote: Note: Will Maclean is renowned for his boxed ‘Constructions’, composed of re-presented found objects. Inside their wooden case, the context of each talismanic piece is at once removed and re-imagined, investing each ‘Construction’ with its own elusive mythology, heritage and narrative.Maclean was born in Inverness in 1941, and attended Gray’s School of Art, Aberdeen. In the late ‘60s and ‘70s, he spent time at sea working as a fisherman, an experience that influenced his subsequent practice profoundly. During this period he produced over four hundred drawings, which were later acquired by the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. In 1981 Maclean was appointed lecturer at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design. He became a Professor of Fine Art in 1994, and now works as Emeritus Professor.

Note: Scottish artist Will Maclean references his years as a midshipman, and later as a fisherman, in his mixed-media constructions. His works incorporate materials and imagery that represent his affinity for, and understanding of, the life of sailors and those who live by, and make a living from, the sea. His constructions are made of scavenged bits of wood, bone and other found items from ships. Reassembled, they become the narrative of old shipwrecks, sailing voyages and the history of life by the sea. Provenance: Leinster Fine Art, London. Property from the Estate of Charlton M. Theus, Jr.
