Painter, collagist and teacher, born in Glasgow of cultured English parents. Kingsley became a talented flautist as well as a painter who originally worked in the manner of Walter Sickert, later abandoning that artist’s tonality for Fauve-like colour, seen to advantage in his French landscapes. He studied at Glasgow School of Art, 1973–7, under James Robertson, Geoffrey Squire and David Donaldson. He taught part-time at a Glasgow secondary school. Kingsley showed at RSA, Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts and at Paisley Art Institute, of which he was a council member. In 1991 he won the William Bowie Landscape Prize, in 1992 the Mary Armour Award, in 1998 the Arnold Clark Prize and in 1999 the Diploma of the Paisley Art Institute; he was a finalist, Hunting Art Prizes, 1989–93–99–2000, being highly commended in 1996.
