Douglas Black (1961 – ), painter, born in Glasgow, this artist spent most of his early life in Detroit where his formal education was in architecture. He studied watercolor rendering technique under acclaimed architect Roy Strickfaden, and oils and gauche under the modernist Harold Linton. Combining figurative impressionism and metamodernism, Douglas has been associated with the Studio Freelove Artists Collective and The Chicago Fine Arts Salon. His signature is simply Douglas along with the hyphenated two digit year of production. His paintings are valued in the hundreds to low-thousands and held in several private collections.
