Hamish MacDonald - A Retrospective
09 Nov 2013 – 10 Nov
The Orangebox Gallery
A retrospective of Hamish MacDonald’s career which began with his studies at Glasgow School of Art between 1963 and 1967. It will feature many of the landscapes for which he was so admired, with additional drawings and paintings from family and day-to-day life.
For much of his life Hamish MacDonald combined his painting with a career in teaching Modern Art, giving up the latter in 1991 to concentrate on his own work. His broad, fluid style and bold palette made him a natural successor to the Scottish Colourist tradition while his ability to capture the atmosphere and vitality of his subject was enhanced by a confident and mature style.
