| About
the Show |
| For
two years the gallery has been hosting exhibitions of works by artists
from all corners of the UK, and the latest show is a collection to celebrate
the anniversary of the gallery. "When we established the gallery
in 2007 we were keen not just to exhibit the best in contemporary Scottish
art but to also attract artists from much further afield." Suzanne,
the gallery owner said. |
| Elaine
Jones is a good example - she's an exciting young artist from Bristol
who paints evocative and abstract landscapes; we're especially pleased
to make young talent such as Elaine accessible to a Scottish audience." |
| The
exhibition includes a mixture of the emerging and established and presents
new work by Jolomo Award short-list artist Rosanne
Barr and fellow Duncan of Jordanstone graduate Cathy Campbell. |

features gallery favourites |
| "One
of the gallery's most popular artists over the past two years has been
Hugh Kirkwood." Suzanne said. The Invergordon-based artist who takes
inspiration from Cursiter, Goudie and Raeburn, paints landscapes of the
coastline between Inverness and Aberdeen that convey his emotions at the
time of painting, and capture the colour and the mood of the landscape
through his creative use of brushstrokes. Suzanne commented on Hugh's
work, "The viewer can feel what Hugh and his subject matter are experiencing;
Hugh is one of a number of artists who thinks that a painting is not a
painting without people in it, and his figurative work has been very popular." |
| The
artistic line-up continues with Cara Mckinnon Crawford, Margaret Evans,
Yvonne Healy and Stewart Lammie. Preview the
work. |

| Small
Pieces |
| The
exhibition also include a range of smaller works by Albie Sinclair and
Gillian Allan. Albie, whose work has been very popular with only one-piece
remaining at the Spring Exhibition earlier this year said, "The main
focus of my work is the way different light, variable weather and human
activity combine to affect the landscape; an isolated house, a field in
sunlight, the edge of a ploughed field, a snow thaw or an old fence can
combine into subtle or dramatic landscapes." View
