Galleries - April 2019

Fiona MacRae grew up in Argyll, studied painting at Glasgow School of Art graduating in 2000 and has since painted full time, working from her studio sheds in both Tiree and Taynuilt. She has exhibited nationally and internationally mainly in group shows. Her paintings are tabletop still lifes. Heavily influenced by flat winter island landscapes, both in colour and composition; the greys of the sea, sky, wet sand, the raw brown bare earth, with the occasional splash of lichen green. The objects are from her domestic surroundings, most of which have been found over years of searching junk shops and the internet, akin to beachcombing.

These are partly an attempt to balance a sense of movement with a sense of stillness, a contradiction which hopefully heightens the strangeness of everyday life.
