Tactile, beautifully formed, and utterly unique. We're thrilled to showcase the stunning wooden works of master craftsman John Hodgson in our Summer Show. Based in Morvern, John embraces the natural character of wet wood. Rather than hiding imperfections like shifts or splits during the drying phase, he enhances them with exquisite details like copper staples or wooden heart plugs, then completes each piece with his signature hot wax finish. Captivating!

Just arrived: four new evocative watercolour paintings by Aberdeenshire based artist Stephen Redpath. Building on direct observations in the field, his paintings are developed through memories, feelings and an emotional response to the natural world. Working on a gimbled table - assembled from reclaimed parts from a shipyard - Redpath manipulates and maneuvers paint around the canvas, creating a sense of freedom, movement and flow in his works.

A selection of Ardnamurchan inspired ceramics by artist Peter Humpherson are on display as part of our Summer Show. Peter is a fountain of knowledge about different glazing techniques informed by his background as a scientist. It's always extremely enlightening and inspiring learning more about his process when he visits the gallery.
-
His work reflects a deep interest in the colours and textures found on the Ardnamurchan peninsula, which he has been visiting regularly for more than 40 years.

From the inimitable hand of Scottish artist Joyce Gunn Cairns MBE, 'Morning Has Broken'. Approaching her depictions of animals and humans with equal sensitivity, Edinburgh based Gunn Cairns core artist values are honesty and integrity. Using sharp, hard pencils and oil paint on board, her process is one of application and scraping back. With a subtle, muted palette and a sensitive, searching aesthetic, these apparently gentle works are at the same time direct and probing, revealing very much more than their surface appearance.

Have you seen artist Jonathan Shearer out painting in the Highland landscape, braving the weather and midge? The artist delivered a fantastic selection of work to the gallery recently, including this small painting 'Ben Wyvis, North Face II'. Drawn to the extremes of landscape painting, Jonathan explores the outer reaches of the Scottish Highlands in order to paint from real life. His works are densely painted in oils, giving a sculptural image and enhancing the depth of the works.

Artist Charles Randak visited the gallery to personally deliver two wonderful large oil paintings prior to the opening of our Summer Show. Born in Edinburgh, he studied at Glasgow School of Art under the tutelage of John Cunningham, who would exert great influence over the development of Randak's own un-fussed style. Working with oil on canvas, generally creating large statement pieces, he sets out to capture real life places and moments in time, which are not overworked or fussy. Here he is pictured outside the gallery with his painting 'Iona Bay & Abbey'.

Feast your eyes on the stunning work of Skye-based ceramic artist Maggie Zerafa! We are thrilled to have six new crystalline glazed ceramics by the artist on display as part of our Summer Show.

After completing a BA in Ceramic Design at Monash University, Melbourne in 1992, Maggie moved to Japan to embark on a three-year apprenticeship in the Mingei tradition, studying under the eminent Mashiko artist Ryo Suzuki. In the following years, she went on to work with established potters in France and the UK, eventually opening her own studio and Gallery in 2000 on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. In 2012, Maggie spent a year in France developing her practice, building a wood-fired kiln and experimenting with the ancient Japanese technique of Raku. Her work is influenced by both the Japanese and European traditions of making. In recent years, Maggie has been exploring the captivating potential of crystalline glazes. Come and see them in person at our Summer Show or view the entire selection online.

Fine Art Gallery

www.resipolestudios.co.uk Resipole Studios is one of Scotland’s leading contemporary art venues and is located in one of the most remote and breathtaking parts of the UK. The award-winning fine art gallery, with its on-site artist studios, is sat on the Ardnamurchan peninsula in the far-flung Highlands of Scotland. In the foothills of Beinn Resipol on the edge of Loch Sunart,the converted 19th century barn and now gallery is surrounded by ancient oakwoods, remnants of the prehistoric rainforests that once carpeted the Atlantic coastline from Norway to Spain.

Since its launch in 2004, Resipole Studios has gained merit both for its roster of award-winning artists and high-calibre contemporary Scottish art, as well as its wild and beautiful setting. The venue’s secluded lochside spot has been significant in it becoming a sought out destination. The Hebridean Princess cruise ship is now making chartered visits up Loch Sunart for guests visiting the gallery, and private seaplanes have even been known to make special pit-stops for the latest exhibition. Art lovers from London travel overnight with the Caledonian Sleeper, in all its splendour, to Fort William and rent a car for the last leg of the journey. With excellent roads, ferry links to Mull, and awe-inspiring scenery the journey itself is just as much a part of the Highland experience as the destination.

The broad range of places to stay in the area has also contributed to Resipole Studios’ ever-growing clientel. The variety of award winning hotels, country house b&bs, self-catering properties, luxury accommodation and even castles, draws those from all walks of life. Glamping is even on offer at Resipole Farm Holiday Park, only a hop, skip and a jump from the studios.

The surrounding beauty gives Resipole Studios its U.S.P. but its impressive programme of exhibitions and workshops is what defines it as one of the leading contemporary galleries that Scotland has to offer!Learn more about the gallery, its artists and forthcoming shows via the website www.resipolestudios.co.uk.
