Lorna Ewan from Historic Scotland said: “With his work being so famous in reproduction, I’m sure people will enjoy this opportunity to view a small sample of his work in the flesh.

“Drawn from a private collection, this could be the first time for many to see these originals and we are expecting it to be popular with visitors and fans alike.”

Mark Gask, Founder of Inverurie-based Gallery i, who loaned the paintings added: “Duff House is the perfect setting for this more intimate style exhibition, featuring a number of original art works by one of Scotland’s most famous contemporary artists.

“The exhibition will also see one of the originals – Future World – available to purchase, as are all of the limited edition prints.”
