About the Artwork
“Leaving Braemar shows the valley looking towards Glen Shee. And so for me at least, I am usually passing through this area by car or motorcycle. The light intensifies as you float through the glen. Many times I have considered stopping and watching but it is always difficult to resist the pull of the winding track.” – 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.
