<div>
Heather's work is highly sought after and in the last decade, she has developed a cult following.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As the writer and filmmaker, James Burge, says of her work: Heather Nevay's paintings shock at first sight. She employs a repertoire of images that appear to have found their way to us from Hieronymus Bosch via classic cinematic horror."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
Whenever we have her original work in the gallery, it never hangs around for long – such is the demand for Heather's paintings. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, we are delighted to be able to present for the first time ever, a series of limited edition digital prints of Heather's work.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The quality is stunning and we think Heather's many fans will be impressed by these affordable yet beautiful prints.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Each is printed in a limited edition of 25 and is signed and numbered by Heather. It also comes with a certificate of authentication. prices are for the unmounted print but dark stained wood frames, designed and approved by the artist, can also be supplied.</div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Both <b>Jacqueline Orr</b> and<b> Sian MacQueen</b> have been inspired by the dramatic surroundings of Argyll to create a whole new body of work which reflects their love of the area. The joint exhibition of their work will take place at The Tighnabruaich Gallery from May 12 – June 1.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><b>“</b>Our approach to painting seems to be completely different, yet entirely complimentary,” says Jacqueline, who trained at Glasgow School of Art under Scottish painting greats such as James D. Roberston, Barbara Rae and John Cunningham.</span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">She adds: “My work is all recent and based on the landscape around Loch Fyne and the Kyles of Bute, near where I live. I've been painting and drawing in this area on and off for about five years, especially at Tighnabruaich. </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">“This is the first time since moving to Argyll nearly seven years ago that I've spent the whole winter here and despite the poor weather, I've been stunned by the light on the few good days that we've had over the winter. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">“My normal palette tends to be either bright or veering towards dark, but I've been drawn to the beautiful, pale, winter colours you find here when it hasn't been raining. Even when it has been raining, the colours have still been fabulous. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">She explains: “My research into my genealogy, which has included finding a tailor and shoemaker from the Small Isles, has given me a fantastic source of narrative for my most recent work. I’m also inspired by texture and enjoy simple abstract compositions that I use to try and create a visual excitement in my paintings.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Heather’s highly collectable work was a regular fixture at the Glasgow Art Fair, which took place annually in the city’s George Square until 2010. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The Argyll-based gallery is bringing two of Heather’s sought-after original oil paintings to the all-new Glasgow Art Show; one called <i>Alchemists in an Industrial Landscape</i> and the other <i>Belovd</i>.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The Tighnabruaich Gallery is one of 41 galleries selected to exhibit at the brand new Glasgow Art Show, which takes place in the Thistle Hotel, Glasgow from March 23-25.</span></div>
<div style="color: #141414; font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">As well as Heather’s work, the gallery will be bringing the work of sought-after Scots artists such as, Gordon Wilson, Charlie O’Sullivan, Ingeborg Smith, Tommy Fitchet and Kevin Fleming.</span></div>
<div style="color: #141414; font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">They will also be showcasing the unique watercolours of Northumberland-based artist, MJ (Matt) Forster. This will be the first time this self-styled ‘</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px color: #000000;">Überpainter’ has been shown in Scotland.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">According to Matt, Überpaintings are ‘designed rather than painted’. </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">“An Überpainting cannot be created within one painting,’ he adds. ‘They have to be developed. This can take weeks to achieve a satisfactory image.”</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Penny Graham-Weall of the Tighnabruaich Gallery comments: “We are delighted to be exhibiting at the first ever Glasgow Art Show. It’s vitally important for galleries like ours to be able to bring our artists to a bigger audience and this offers a great opportunity for all concerned.”</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Here at the the <b>Tighnabruaich Gallery</b>, we are very lucky to be able to exhibit the work of one of Scotland's most sought after painters, Heather Nevay. The way Heather paints is so detailed and exacting that producing work is a highly charged creative yet labour-intensive process. So, when paintings come to the gallery, they don't linger for long.</span></div>

Up until now, Heather's work hasn't been available in print form, but we have been working with Glasgow-based design company, Deadly Digital, to produce a stunning set of affordable digital prints. Also on sale will be a limited edition 'black book' of Heather's work. It's priced at £60 and it's a thing of beauty. A keepsake to last a lifetime...</div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Given the finely tuned sense of composition, colour and design inherent in Heather’s paintings, coupled with a fantastical imagination at work, it is no surprise to find her eyrie-like flat across the top floor of a Glasgow tenement throws away the modern interior design rule book, yet works in the most spectacular fashion.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Heather and her partner John Burke have lived in the same building in Glasgow’s west end for over 20 years, but 11 years ago, following a fire in the roof top flat a few floors further up when six student occupants had to be airlifted out by helicopter, they decided to make an offer on it and move up in the world.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">“We knew that the landlord would not be able to let it out again for health and safety reasons,” she explains, “so we decided to make an early offer.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">“I needed more room to work and we loved living in the area. It’s close to great shops, bars and restaurants in the west end and within walking distance of town. The views out over the rooftops to the Campsie Hills are special too.”</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">When the couple moved in, they had their work cut out. Not only had the interior been fire-damaged, but years of neglect and abuse had taken its toll on the fabric of the L-shaped apartment, which Heather thinks may have been used originally as servants’ quarters when the Victorian tenement was first built.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Early on, we had to decide what room was what as all four rooms had been used as bedrooms. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">“Initially, the room we now use as a little sitting room was a dining room, with the large lounge as the place we tended to sit in the evening.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">“I also had my studio in the room which is now our bedroom, but a few years ago, we swapped things around and my studio is now at one end of the large room we had as a bedroom. I love to base myself around a window and that works as I paint at one end and we use the other part of the room as a guest bedroom.”</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The flat has been a work in progress since they moved in, with the couple playing to their own individual strengths. As a civil engineer, John was able to deal with practical structural challenges, such as when they knocked through a wall in search of a chimneybreast and exposed more wall to the world than they had intended. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">To tie in with Heather’s aim of ‘not having a fitted kitchen’, he created and customised the cabinetry in the kitchen. An old wardrobe has been painted and fitted with mouldings from B&Q to create more storage space. Elsewhere, on the wall connecting the hall and the lounge, he has installed a small porthole bought in a chandlery. Around the recess window’s, he has built shutters to preserve heat.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Heather likes to be surrounded by things not found in homes up and down the land. “There’s nothing wrong with buying furniture from IKEA, it’s just that it’s not for me,” she says. “We couldn’t afford to buy really expensive one-offs, so our leather sofas in the lounge, for example, were bought for next-to-nothing from classified ads in the local paper.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Heather, whose degree from Glasgow School of Art, was in printed textiles, has honed her interior design eye over the years to master many new skills, including plastering a fireplace surround and mixing wallpaper paste and yellow paint to create a vivid backdrop for the lounge and the hall. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Her talent as an arranger of seemingly disparate objects is always to the fore, be it in the clever use of painted wooden chairs half way up the kitchen wall as extra shelving, or her humorous take of plonking her friend’s mum’s wedding tiara atop the bust of a little boy salvaged from a chemist where he’d been used as part of advertising campaign. In the lounge, hanging on a wooden screen on the living room, she has a pair of exquisite Chinese watercolour palettes she picked up in a market in Islington. She has customised the upper part of the palette with circular digital copies of two of her paintings. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">In every corner of this apartment, from kitchen, to bathroom to lounge and hallway, there is something to hold your attention. Heather admits she is not keen on cupboards, so her world is on display in what feels like a living, breathing very well lived-in theatrical set. It’s not everyone who could get away with having a salvaged statuette of Jesus on a velvet-draped plinth with some nice artificial flowers on his head, but here, it works.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Everything in this house, be it artefact, icon, ornament, foliage, painting or stuffed animal in a glass case (of which there are many), has its own story, from the first ever stuffed animal she bought – an early Victorian version of the King Charles spaniel – to the most recent purchase; an antelope with impossibly twisted horns dating back to 1922.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">Currently sitting on a chair in its glass case, Heather says she is unsure of the perfect position for this once wild beast, and it is this approach which sets her home apart from other interiors, where such a feast of detail would become simply a guddle in need of a good dusting.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The couple don’t have children of their own, but Heather’s sister’s children ‘love coming up here’ she declares. “They head straight for the stuffed animals. What they like – and what I love too – is the fact that normally you wouldn’t get so close to them. I mean, where would you normally see a badger? The other good thing is that they’re not difficult pets!”</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">As well as the stuffed animals, Heather and John also share their home with a pair of life-sized plaster sheep, made by the acclaimed Scottish sculptor, Angela Hunter. Heather and Angela swapped work a few years back and one stands in the lounge by a window, while its mate is in the couple’s bedroom, seemingly gnawing on a piece of foliage hanging above the bed.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">As you would expect, the walls groan with original art, most of it by Heather, spanning the 20 years since she left art school. There are early figurative paintings in acrylic as well as the more recent unsettling oils of vignettes of children at play, and several examples of her exquisite hand drawn figures on paper.</span></div>

A few years back, Heather exchanged work with the Fife-born painter, whose work now routinely sells for five figure sums. There is also a small painting by Glasgow-based Peter </span></div>

The specially commissioned painting of a Celtic/Rangers football match in Peter’s distinctive highly detailed style was a 40</span><span style="font: normal normal normal 8px/normal 'Times New Roman'; letter-spacing: 0px;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> birthday present for John – an avid Celtic fan.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The hub of the house is Heather’s studio, which like all artists’ spaces is highly personal. Postcards, posters and tear sheets from magazines of figures or faces cover the wall around the inset window. Many are from the Italian Renaissance era, a period that continues to be a constant inspiration in her work. Heather is often to be found in here until late at night, with Radio 4 or a Talking Book for company as she paints. </span></div>

Three of our favourite artists have some stunning work for you to see in the gallery and online now. These will blow away the new year cobwebs as we head up to what has been dubbed Blue Monday by the Daily Mail. Yes, it's true, next Monday, January 23 is officially Blue Monday. For is, the opposite is true. We like nothing better than a cobalt blue seascape and with this in mind...<br />
On show now, we have recent seascapes and new work by Pam Carter, some quirky gouache cartoon like pictures by John Wetton Brown and fabulous abstract work of Tighnabruaich and the Kyles of Bute by Caroline Bailey.<br />

Using a combination of enamels, veneers, semi-precious stones or glass. Maria creates beautiful mirrors, boxes, photo frames and decorative panels. No two pieces are exactly alike as no casting or pressing is involved. Each piece has been worked individually from her own designs. Pewter and Silver foil are a relatively new innovation and its malleability enables quite intricate repousse and chase techniques to be used. Modern pewter contains no lead and is made up of 91% Tin, 1,5% Antimony and 7,5% Copper. Much of her inspiration comes from the natural world and the flexibility of pewter enables me to recreate the beauty of nature in every small detail. Pewter has an enduring quality and since it does not oxidise, it requires no other care than an occasional dust.Tig Galleryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01540390808868615217noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150507466026391129.post-40861591911045576592011-12-15T04:06:00.000-08:002011-12-15T04:06:13.183-08:00Tig Gallery applies for own art<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGlXxLm0y_yWrU0-_5-1OtCkhPS6VmCV5KcXSa_1HBw3jxfDx-32OIE6TlyDy3JBI2netxtKrDir4MJZA2eEVKx7YbK6I6LAFzzEeizpf12eOJirx8PSsGAO-QQRw0x2JTl0Eing1kzYE/s1600/South+from+sandeels+bay%252C+Iona+24x18%2523.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" oda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGlXxLm0y_yWrU0-_5-1OtCkhPS6VmCV5KcXSa_1HBw3jxfDx-32OIE6TlyDy3JBI2netxtKrDir4MJZA2eEVKx7YbK6I6LAFzzEeizpf12eOJirx8PSsGAO-QQRw0x2JTl0Eing1kzYE/s320/South+from+sandeels+bay%252C+Iona+24x18%2523.jpg" width="235px" /></a></div><span style="font-size: x-small;">At last we have been invited to apply for Own Art - which we are delighted about.

Well, it's been some week here in the Kyles. Penny was on a trip down south and came home to the storm which has been dubbed Hurricane Baw... let's not go there (ed)!<br />
<br />
Cue a long diversion to get home to Tighnabruaich.<br />
<br />
Still, when the weather is extreme here in Argyll, it just makes for better scenery. You can see why so many creative people are drawn here. Round every corner - in all weathers - the scenery is jaw-dropping.<br />
<br />
Here's a selection of images taken by Andrew over the last few days.<br />
