John Robert Smith

Cowal Peninsula based artist John Robert Smith joined the gallery before Covid and has been a regular contributor since then. His collections have strong emotive themes. They include his "Lockdown" paintings with musicians playing - socially distanced - on the loch in moonlight, the "Hugs" collection which captured how it felt when we could again hold each other after the first covid release and his "From river to sea" collection, telling the story of his previous home near the Tay and his new home on the Cowal Peninsula.

New pieces

John has one piece in this current exhibition, returning to one of his favourite themes, Boogie on the Beach is a wonderfully evocative piece that continues John's narrative conversation with paint.
