Description

Scott Naismith

Scott Naismith graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee in June 2000 with a BDes in Illustration and printmaking. Since graduating Scott has been a full time artist, working from his studio in Glasgow.

Much of his time is spent travelling around the country looking for inspiration for another depiction of the Scottish landscape. The many lochs, glens and isles of the West coast are amongst his favourite subject matter for his vibrant and atmospheric oils. Scott uses vivid colours in a vigorous application to represent the fast changing light conditions of the West coast of Scotland. Colour use often becomes an entirely emotional response to the subject while values can remain representational. The love he has for his native Scottish countryside is portayed in his work through an ebullient energy with which he handles the colour with palette knife and brush.

Scott Naismith’s recent work concentrates on transitional skies and the many colours involved when light breaks through cloud. These changing skies from dark to light are a metaphor for optimism and hope. After a miraculous recovery from cancer by his father, recent marriage and birth of his 2 children, Scott draws upon a great positivity and energy.

In 2014 Scott won the 126th Annual Exhibition of the PAI £1000 Arnold Clark Award. He exhibits in numerous galleries throughout the UK and USA.
