Scotland has 10,250 miles of stunning coastline. We are never far from the sea, or our lochs, canals and rivers. Our coast and waters have always inspired artists, who have not only celebrated their beauty, but who now also question our environmental sustainability and the impact that we are having on our precious natural resources.
Tides Changing | Changing Tides highlights some of the very varied responses by contemporary artists to our coast and waters. The selected artists – all members of the Society of Scottish Artists – work in a number of different media, and have all dealt with the subject matter in a very varied way, often exploring and depicting very personal experiences.
The exhibition was initially planned and curated as two separate shows, which were due to be held at Old Gala House in Galashiels earlier this year. Unfortunately, neither show could go ahead because of Covid-19, and we are very pleased to be able to present the work in a digital format instead.
