Holly Johnson Gallery will present Eric Cruikshank’s exhibition, "The Skies Window," representing a selection of 15 oil on paper and canvas paintings created during the past year.
Taking landscape as an initial starting point, Cruikshank’s paintings are not about literal presentation; instead, the focus is on the emotive qualities of place. Using an objective palette tied to the Scottish landscape, color acts as a vehicle to reveal the picture planes underlying points of reference. With the structure, design, and color harmony being grounded in the everyday, the viewer is encouraged to readdress notions of their surroundings, where the familiar is opened and made full of possibility.
The exhibition will remain on display through May 8.
