Artist Leo du Feu, a former Lowport Primary and Linlithgow Academy pupil, returns to his hometown for his largest solo exhibition to date, titled "Homecoming," at the Gallery at Linlithgow Burgh Halls. Running from 22 May to 17 September 2026, the show traces the evolution of his work across themes of nature, landscape, wildlife, storytelling, fatherhood, and emotional well-being, featuring large canvases, miniature wood engravings, and paintings created en plein air. The exhibition also marks the 15th anniversary of the gallery's opening in April 2011.
The exhibition matters because it represents a personal and professional homecoming for a local artist whose practice has deepened through his role as ScotRail Community Rail Champion and his studio work in Fife. It also highlights the ongoing cultural role of the Linlithgow Burgh Halls as a community venue that has hosted over 50 contemporary art exhibitions, talks, and workshops since its refurbishment, reinforcing the importance of regional galleries in supporting artists and engaging local audiences.
