Lachlan Goudie's previous shows at Stenton Gallery have featured the Brittany landscape of maternal roots, views of Parisian life from his Montmartre apartment and scenes from a visit to India. For his third solo exhibition with us, the young artist quits his London studio and returns to his native Scotland.

As ever, he demonstrates original composition skills and a singular use of bold colour in capturing the real Scotland. From photographs taken at the roadside and images sketched in the open air emerge paintings of Loch Lomond, the Campsie Fells, the plains of Stirling and the hills and valleys of Breadalbane, all illustrating the drama of landscape which would be wilderness but for the intrusions of man. The artist, intrigued, allows his brush to dwell on isolated farms and garages, electricity pylons, … even the occasional roadsign.
