Biography

Peploe was born in Edinburgh as the younger son of Margaret and Samuel John Peploe. His father was an artist and Denis worked with him. Peploe went to school at the Edinburgh Academy.[1]

Despite his father's advice, he then studied at Edinburgh College of Art[2] and resolved to become an artist. He went on to study with the painter and sculptor Andre Lhote in Paris.[1]

During the war he served with the Royal Artillery and the Special Operations Executive where he was hurt in a motorcycle accident. He had to recover until 1946 although he did not paint during this time. In 1947 he had a one-man show in Edinburgh. His landscapes and other paintings were again shown in Glasgow in London. Possibly due to his mother being from Barra[3] he was known for his work featuring the Hebrides and the Western Highlands.[1]

He was elected ARSA in 1956 and became a full member ten years later. Peploe taught at the Edinburgh College of Art from 1955 to 1977 whilst selling his work and contributing to the annual exhibition of the RSA.[1]

Peploe died in Edinburgh. He had one son and a daughter with his wife Elizabeth (born Barr).[1]
