About the Artwork
“The river Dee thrashes behind a Scots Pine tree line. The sound of its rushing past the impressive slabs of stone is strangely comforting. Not a place or time to enter the water but I consider coming back another day.” – Felix Zandt
About the Artist
Felix Zandt is a rising contemporary talent in Scottish landscape painting. Originally from York and a graduate of the Glasgow School of Art, he now works from his studio in the village of Braemar in the Cairngorms National Park, with a particular focus on the local landscape.
Unfolding in a rhythmic language of brushwork and a gradual layering of paint, his works have an immersive, transportive quality that communicates a close intimacy and reverance for the landscape of the Cairngorms - its mountains and woodlands.
