Exhibition continues until 10 May
We’re excited to introduce you to Anthony Murphy.
Simplistic in structure, Anthony Murphy’s paintings allow the two-dimensional canvas to dominate the forms of the composition, reflecting an exploration of space. With a strong tonal palette, the artist chooses an array of subjects from townscapes to still life to people engaging in everyday activity.
Anthony mainly paints in oil and pastel and is known predominantly for his French and Irish scenes. His colourful Gauginesque paintings have become highly desirable.
The artist explains: “I paint with my right hemisphere. It cannot speak or use words in any way. It is humble and silent. When I am asked about my painting my left hemisphere blurts out all kinds of nonsense trying to answer for the right. But the left hemisphere knows nothing and makes it all up fuelled by vanity.
The right is just still (hardly perceptible) promptings of calm. I like its company and therefore painting.“
Abstract works by Felice Hodges.
Whatever new subject Felice explores, we are again given the opportunity to be drawn into each canvas with an open mind. Without an obvious narrative, her use of colour, textures and multi-layers of paint in combination with the motifs, allows us to engage with the work in a very personal way.

Inverness-born Iain Holman worked in the advertising and design industry as a graphic designer before changing career to work as an artist. In 2016, Iain graduated with a Master’s Degree in Fine Art from the Open College of the Arts and now exhibits in galleries throughout the UK. Iain’s work has also been on show in the Mall Galleries in London and in 2020 he won the Visual Art Open Award with his painting Indignant II.
Iain’s work is shaped by the enduring fascination with both figurative and animal form, often portraying his subjects as lone figures. From his initial candid observations, he expands upon their pose and physicality in the studio, typically using his subjects to recreate a narrative. Blending realism with abstraction, he works with oils on canvas to create multilayered surface colours that are both structured and immediate.
He currently lives and works from his home studio in Quothquan, south Lanarkshire.
