Spirit of Scotland
I met Rann and his girlfriend Lizie through a friend. His Scottish accent (yes even in writing) and easy talk immediately captivated me.
We talked for a while and he showed me some of his RL paintings. I was completely hooked and knew I just had to have his paintings in Galeria LX walls. He was kind enough to accept and now I am proud to invite for the opening on August 7th at 02:00 PM PDT / 22:00 GMT (Galeria LX, Portucalis (111, 81, 22) ).
Leave you here the press release for the exhibition and a photo of the invitation.
Hope to see you there.
SPIRIT OF SCOTLAND BY RANNOCH LATER
Rannoch comes from the Highlands of Scotland.
His native land has been the inspiration for most of his work and this often reflects in the subject.
It all started one very cold winter while he was stranded by deep snow in his caravan (Trailer) on the side of a Scottish Loch. He was fixing his Motorcycle at the time, so had some tins of spray paint left all over the place. Just decided to brighten the place up with it, and… the end result was what you will see at the exhibition. He discovered he was into painting.
He was stranded for over a week, and had nothing to paint on so the furniture, what wasn’t burned, got it. Most of the Originals of these prints were done on recycled domestic furniture with tins of Graffiti paint, and some Ink.
The rest was done on Roof tiles that were under his caravan. You could say this is his old home on display.
Among his works are Logos and Album covers for the music industry, as well as corporate logos and design boards, and several commissions, but mostly he enjoys painting for his own fun.
He also makes Swords and daggers, again this is all done with things he finds and recycles.
RL exhibitions:
Smith Gallery, (Stirling), part of “Brave Art” exhibition 1997
Trading post, Royal Mile (Edinburgh)
Royal College of Phisicians , Queen Street (Edinburgh) (part exh)
Lethbridge , (Ontario).(part exh)
Now Galeria LX is proud to present his works for the first time at Galeria LX in Portucalis. Galeria LX, Portucalis (111, 81, 22)
Please join us there for a night embedded with the Spirit of Scotland.
Second life it’s a world of opportunities and of course to bring RL visual art work.
