Figurative & Landscape Paintings
Featuring paintings by Stuart Buchanan & Alice Cescatti
About
Stuart Buchanan has firmly established himself as a major force within the Contemporary Scottish field, and his recent collection bears testament to the growing interest in his work.
Buchanan paintings share the common theme of solitude. It is not a lonely or forlorn solitude but rather a celebration of peace and serenity. In a world filled with tumultuous noise, mayhem and disorder, Stuart Buchanan has found a very comfortable refuge where the viewer can ignore the havoc of the outside world. His work is immediately identifiable and many of his popular themes are re-visited.
Alice Cescatti specialises in blending precious metals with water gilding and painting techniques to create beautiful light reflecting paintings.
Alice was classically trained in London and completed a four year apprenticeship in the restoration of gilded and painted furniture.
Previous to this she studied Fine Art in New Zealand and Interior Design in London.
Alice has travelled extensively as a gilder and found special inspiration for her paintings teaching in Vietnam and in time spent in the South Pacific..
