Kerry Souter's "Etchings of the Tide" is a captivating exploration of the interplay between land and sea, executed with acrylic and mixed media on a cradled panel. The painting (44 x 44 cm framed) envelops the viewer in a world of soft, muted tones, where layers of delicate whites, greys, and hints of blue evoke the ever-changing shoreline. Souter's technique of layering and texturing captures the essence of tidal movements, while the subtle interplay of light and shadow adds depth and intrigue. The piece invites quiet contemplation, allowing viewers to lose themselves in the textures and rhythms reminiscent of coastal landscapes.


Etchings of the Tide: A Connection to Nature
The artwork serves as a reminder of our intrinsic connection to nature and the timeless cycles of the sea. Through its abstract representation, "Etchings of the Tide" transcends mere depiction, offering a sensory experience that evokes the gentle ebb and flow of water against stone. Its presence on a wall transforms a space into a serene retreat, encouraging moments of reflection and appreciation of the natural world. Souter’s work embodies the spirit of contemporary Scottish art, blending tradition with innovation to create pieces that resonate with both personal and universal significance.
