About the Artwork
“If I could only paint one forest it would be here. An area so dense with ancient growth, all sense of scale and self becomes lost in the thick mosses and Juniper bush. If ever there was a woodland that asks you to consider its spirit. It is this one.” - 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.
