Palettes and Perspectives
Natural Beauty Through Unique Lenses 31 Jan - 2 Mar 2025 Journey through Scotland’s breathtaking landscapes with Neal Greig, Louis McNally, Ken Roberts, and Marion Thomson. Each artist brings a unique vision to their depictions of rugged Scottish scenery or the sleeping city streets, creating a rich tapestry of iconic perspectives.
- Neal Greig paints en plein air, directly engaging with the environment and capturing the raw, changing essence of Scotland’s landscapes. His expressive brushwork and dynamic compositions bring the energy of the natural world to life.
- Louis McNally contrasts this with his meticulously crafted works, characterised by remarkable detail and precision. His paintings reflect a deep connection to place, presenting well observed scenes with striking clarity and accuracy.
- Ken Roberts takes a more imaginative approach, drawing on memory and emotion to craft immersive, colourful landscapes. His work transforms familiar vistas into dreamlike visions, offering a fresh perspective on Scotland’s natural beauty.
- Marion Thomson is deeply inspired by the west coast and the islands. She sketches on location, capturing the wild spirit of these remote areas with a keen eye for light and atmosphere, bringing the windswept beauty of the Scottish coastline into vivid focus.
Palettes and Perspectives is a celebration of Scotland’s natural splendour, showcasing how each artist’s individual style and technique brings a new dimension to the landscapes we know and love. Join us for this visual journey across some of Scotland’s most stunning vistas. Read more -
