Ron Lawson Into Spring Solo Exhibition
Ron Lawson, one of Scotland's most popular and collected artists, has opened a new Solo Exhibition of paintings 'Into Spring' at Annan Gallery!
About Ron Lawson Into Spring Solo Exhibition
Ron Lawson is one of the most successful Scottish painters working today and his work, centred around the Hebrides, has won him a global fanbase with sales as far afield as the USA, Australia and Singapore.
The Perthshire-based artist launches his latest exclusive show ‘Into Spring’ at the Annan Gallery on April 1st, one of just two gallery exhibitions he stages per year, and revealed that his newest collection was full of brighter and lighter tones to help see off the winter.
Lawson spends weeks at a time travelling around the Outer Hebrides to capture the look of the islands he has loved all his life – and for his most recent visit to the islands last November, he found himself changing his palette due to the time of year.
Ron Lawson commented: “What we try to do for each exhibition is to have a slightly different flavour. It was coming into the wintertime when it was dark, cold and miserable, and I found myself painting with lighter and softer tones.
“To cheer myself up more than anything, I started mixing up the paint and came up with these soft muted tones and then you have to bring everything down to match, and that’s what inspired me to make the whole collection softer. It’s a subtle change but I think it worked a treat.
“When I was painting for the show, I realised it was all very spring-like.
“I definitely focused on bringing that lighter feel to my work and it cheered me up during the winter months.”
Ron has been painting for over 40 years but went full time in 2010 by leaving his former job in the art and design team at publishers DC Thomson.
He has since sold out nearly every exhibition he has ever staged, with a client base now eagerly awaiting his new shows at the Annan Gallery in Glasgow and the Strathearn Gallery in Crieff.
