About the Artwork
“Along the Clunie river is an area of pines that is used by the sheep for shelter from heavy rains. The ground is worn out beneath, where they huddle together. Out in the field there are bales of hay left for them in colder months and I notice one morning the well trodden path between the two areas of refuge. A nice place to stay, I thought.” – 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.
