JAMES FULLARTON - A Modern Scottish Colourist
Saturday 26th March - Sunday 15th May 2022
More than two years ago we began to plan for a retrospective exhibition celebrating the work of James Fullarton. Circumstances made it impossible to present this work at the appointed time but it will have been worth the wait.
Fullarton, who lives locally, is an artist with an international following. Many of you will know his work and those who do not are in for a treat. Landscape, Portraiture and Still Life, something for everyone to enjoy. one of the highlights of the year.
FRANZESKA EWART - The Dream of Flying
From Saturday 5th February 2022
Franzeska Ewart was born in Stranraer and, after graduating in Zoology from Glasgow University, went on to teach English as an Additional Language, often using puppetry to encourage language development.
She spends most of her time painting in oils, creating dreamlike worlds where women and birds have strong emotional connections. In some paintings the birds bring the women small, simple gifts from which they derive comfort, support, or protection. In others, the bird’s egg itself is the gift, the symbol suggesting a new beginning, an increase in self- confidence, or the fulfilment of a dream.
The exhibition title is The Dream of Flying and, like the egg, flying symbolises different things to different viewers: an escape from negativity, insecurity or unhappiness for some; wish fulfilment for others; or simply the wonderful feeling of release and joy we experience when we dare to cast off our inhibitions and follow our hearts.
The most recent paintings were done during the troubled times of Covid, and they express a hope for a future in which people have greater awareness, closeness, and appreciation of nature.
This is just a selection of the work on view and most are for sale during the exhibition.
If you are interested in any of the work for sale please call 01292 445447 for more information on how to buy.
