My home looks out onto this impressive Firth and this landscape inspires me daily. Its magic deserves its own series of work.
We're delighted that Alchemist Gallery is the venue for Lian's first ever exhibition : 'Capturing the Firth' runs from 5th May - 14th June 2022.
The ever-changing shores of the body of water that stretches from Cromarty to Dingwall, is a wild landscape, full of energy.
"I believe we are all connected to the land, and I aim to capture its emotions and memories through my work. Bold brushstrokes like the whipping waves and tumbling mountains. Vibrant colours, wild yet balanced - I hold this in my heart as I paint. I want my art to be alive, for my paintings to feel relatable. I want my work to have the strength of the impressive landscapes surrounding me. I want it to hold interest and create impact. I want the viewer to connect, to feel the energy drawn from the land and held forever on canvas as a reminder of nature's magnificence."
