"Ethereal Vistas - A tranquil journey through Edinburgh"
Friday 2nd - Saturday 10th July 2010
The Dundas Street Gallery, Edinburgh

In his much-anticipated latest showcase of new paintings, the talented and highly collectable contemporary Scottish artist presented an atmospheric exhibition of over 50 outstanding oils and Indian inks.

Using an impressionistic palette these sought after artworks are his emotional response to the light and shade of the city’s landscape at dawn and dusk. For the first time he captured a rare snow-covered Scottish capital, leading us on a serene journey through its streets, skylines and open spaces in winter-time - which will inspire and delight his collectors.

Primrose’s atmospheric new originals ranged from glistening early morning light creating shadows, which filter softly through the trees in The Meadows, breathtaking vistas of the city from Inverleith Park, to glorious winter skylines towards twilight beyond the city’s magnificent architecture - looking towards The Pentlands, from Arthur’s Seat and Calton Hill.

1."Ethereal Vistas - A tranquil journey through Edinburgh"

Friday 2nd - Saturday 10th July 2010
The Dundas Street Gallery, Edinburgh

In his much-anticipated latest showcase of new paintings, the talented and highly collectable contemporary Scottish artist presents an atmospheric exhibition of over 50 outstanding oils and Indian inks, which is not to be missed.

Artist Statement
"Since I started painting Edinburgh cityscapes in 2006, I always look forward so much to creating one new collection a year entirely devoted to this beautiful and uplifting city. The unique light and atmosphere, striking landscape and architecture always provide me with so many creative ideas and vistas I wish to capture in my work.

For this new exhibition, I was inspired by the silent city under a blanket of white following the snowfalls last winter and the visual contrast between the light and shade especially at sunrise and sunset.

This new collection reflects my daily journey to and from my home in Marchmont through The Meadows, The Old Town and The New Town to my studio in Stockbridge, which was exhilarating and refreshing in the snow". Jamie Primrose
