Graduating from the Glasgow School of Art with an Honours degree in Fine Art, Lex has expanded his artistic education and practice greatly over the years. For 17 years Lex ran a successful fashion design business, creating top end couture ranges and acting as consultant to large-scale manufactures in the UK and abroad.

Lex returned to painting and drawing in 2002 and has since gained vast popularity and following.

His approach results in the creation of striking domestic scenes, portraits, sculptures and still lifes.

This latest exhibition explores the art of texture, featuring the distinct perspectives of three artists: Linda Park, Alison Cowan and Avril Scott.

‘Beyond the Surface’ treats paint as a tactile force, demonstrating how the medium can be pushed to its physical limits to reshape our perception of a space. By moving away from the flat canvas, these artists explore the structural potential of paint - transforming it from just a visual layer into a tangible, three-dimensional experience that challenges our understanding of what a painting can be.

Opening Saturday 16th May…

Lewis MacKenzie is a contemporary impressionist painter based near Glasgow. His work features in numerous private collections and has appeared in exhibitions by the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, The Royal Glasgow Institute and the Paisley Art Institute, as well as in several private art galleries in Glasgow, Edinburgh and London.

Most recently, he has appeared on Sky Portrait Artist of the Year, been shortlisted for the Inaugural Scottish Landscape Awards (2023), and was awarded the Murray and McGregor Prize at the Scottish Prize for Fine Art (2023).

An art school drop-out, Lewis trained as a biologist and worked for several years in a cancer lab before rekindling his life-long love of drawing and painting in the early 2010s. He draws influences from the masters of past eras, such as Velázquez, Vermeer, Guthrie, Sargent, and the Boston School Impressionists. His interests range from portraiture to still life and landscape.

Visit The Atelier Gallery to experience Lewis MacKenzie’s latest collection in our new exhibition, ‘The Observed Life.’

Iain Holman is a Scottish portrait and figurative artist, born in Inverness and now working from his studio in the town of Biggar, South Lanarkshire. He graduated with a Masters Degree in Fine Art from the Open College of the Arts (UCA) in 2016, and is now exhibiting in selected galleries in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling and Dublin. His work was also on show at the Mall Galleries in London and he has appeared in a number of art publications including the International Artist Magazine.

Iain’s inspiration comes from the enduring fascination with the human form, sourcing his references from either studio created poses or candid images from everyday life. He blends realism with abstraction, using oils on canvas to create painted patterned brush work, that is both structured and immediate. His inspiration is found around him and is of the moment; reacting to the time he is living in today and recording his experiences as a visual diary.

Pop into The Atelier Gallery to explore Iain Holman’s latest works in our new exhibition, ‘The Observed Life’.
