Scottish artist Andrew Cranston has opened a new solo exhibition titled 'I’m going in a field' at Modern Art gallery in London. The show features eleven paintings that blend landscape, memory, and domestic scenes, drawing inspiration from the artist's childhood in Hawick, Scotland, and his reflections on activities like golf, which he views as a form of landscape experience.
The exhibition highlights Cranston's late-career recognition and his position within a notable roster of contemporary painters at Modern Art. His work, characterized by 'creative misremembering' and a vibrant, seductive use of color, connects to art historical influences like Chagall, Bonnard, and Cézanne, while exploring how art exists within community beyond the commercial art world.
