Artist | Stephen Redpath
Artist Story | I am a landscape artist, based in rural Aberdeenshire, northeast Scotland. My watercolour paintings explore the relationship between emotion and the wild and remote places where I have been fortunate to spend much of my life, initially as an ecologist and now as an artist.
In my paintings, I strive to express how landscape affects my emotional state, and in turn how my emotional state affects how I paint the landscape. I do this in a very intuitive way. I start by spending time walking, sketching, photographing and increasingly simply opening the senses and allowing the feel of these landscapes to soak into my bones. Then I return to the studio, put the sketchbooks and photos away and take time to allow those landscapes to re-emerge as they see fit. The whole thing is thrilling.
Artwork Narrative | A dynamic abstract interpretation of Loch Muick, Scotland, where energetic brushstrokes evoke a sense of movement and wild beauty. The sweeping composition captures the restless energy of the landscape - you can almost see the froth of the clouds drifting across the sky.
