Opening Soon: Light on Water

Light on Water opens on August 29th at The Scottish Gallery

“The sea has captivated artists since time immemorial. For David Cass, born in Edinburgh and raised in the Scottish Borders, an interest in the natural rhythm of the local landscape led him to the sea as an early source of inspiration. He paints the sea in all its moods, creating images that combine direct observation with a poetic sensibility.

In his latest exhibition, which marks Cass’s tenth major solo presentation of his career, the artist celebrates the power and majesty of the oceans, and continues to use his art to campaign for climate awareness. Rising sea levels, unpredictable severe storms, and the bleaching of coral reefs starkly remind us of how human activity is altering the natural balance of our seas.”
