Steven Donaldson

Light on Land and Sea - photographs by Steven Donaldson

30 March — 27 June 2013 *on now

Photographs from around Scotland showing the diversity of Scottish landscapes and weather, hopefully allowing people to feel part of the scene they are viewing. Stevens seascapes come from many years of working at sea, and are an attempt at remaining close to nature while bobbing around in a large metal boat!

Steven was born and bred in Dundee, but has always enjoyed the freedom and solitude of the highlands of Scotland. SinceheI picked up his first camera, he has been trying to replicate the sense of space and atmosphere that the landscape/seascape has to offer.

Davie Hudson

Tranquility : A view of the Scottish Highlands

29 June — 3 October 2013

The content of the exhibition is a pictorial journey through the Scottish Highlands in search of peace and quiet, away from the hassles of everyday life and all that brings. The photographs are deliberately devoid of people and the modern world with the aim to calm and to transfer the tranquillity that Davie feels when taking them to the viewer. There is a strong influence of water in the photographs that emphasises his own fascination with the movement and power. The pictures have a signature style that has been described as painter-like.

Born and Bred in Dundee Davie has been interested in photography for many years without finding his focus. He revels in the peace of the Highlands and find that he is at his best when surrounded by mountains and lochs. Davie has a deep love of my country that seem to permeate everything he does and this comes out in his photographs.
