'TWO SCOTTISH PAINTERS AND ONE OTHER' featuring Stuart Buchanan Frank To & Lucy Orchard
Stuart Buchanan’s evocative and textured paintings pay homage to the Scottish tradition of figurative painting, whilst retaining a contemporary edge. Having recently relocated to the small fishing village of Catterline on Scotland’s East Coast, Buchanan draws inspiration from the area’s rugged landscape, its wildlife and changing colours, as well as from his own childhood memories.
Stuart Buchanan graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in 1992 and following a period of travel in Egypt and Chile, he set up his first studio in Edinburgh before moving back to Glasgow in 1997 where he spent the next ten years painting full time at his Merchant City studio in Glasgow.
Stuart has since accepted a Scottish Arts Council Residency (in partnership with Aberdeen City Council) and now lives and paints in rural Aberdeenshire. He continues to exhibit regularly in England, Scotland and Internationally.
