Alan Dimmick (born 1961) is a Scottish photographer living and working in Glasgow. He is best known for documenting the Glasgow art scene.[1][2]

Life and work

Dimmick was born in Glasgow, Scotland. He attended Hyndland Secondary School between 1973 to 1979 and the College of Building and Printing, now part of City of Glasgow College,[3] between 1979 and 1982.[4]

After a short period spent working at the Mitchell Library, Dimmick moved into a flat with rock band Del Amitri, which is where his work of documenting the art and music scene began. He was also encouraged by Scottish photographer Oscar Marzaroli.[5]

In 2007, an exhibition of his work was shown at Street Level Photoworks in Glasgow.[6].

In 2012, his work documenting the Glasgow art scene was shown at the Gallery of Modern Art.[7][8][9]

In 2017, a 40-year retrospective was held at the Stills Gallery in Edinburgh.[10][11] The exhibition was followed by the publication of Alan Dimmick Photographs 1977-2017, with a launch event hosted by Timorous Beasties.[12][13]

In 2017, he was Artist in Residence at Stirling University.[14]
