If you think the time honoured Scottish Landscape belongs to dusty castles and estate homes, think again! Feast your eyes on these magnificent contemporary works by Chris Sharp. Lochnagar is a showstopper. Only by standing before the painting can you experience how the subtle placement of the stag draws the viewer into deep scrutiny while at the same time, the sheer vastness of the dramatic vista tumbles right off the canvas and into the room. Braeriach stops you in your tracks just the same. Look how skilfully the artist balances the solidity of the earth with the rolling heavens above, creating distance and depth. He cleverly positions the eye line along the peaks to build a powerful perspective, transporting you to the top of that ridge, feeling the sun being chased away by the coming rain. Now thats how to bring landscape bang up to date and into your own castle. A must see...
