Castle Gallery Promoting quality, contemporary art in the Highlands of Scotland
www.castlegallery.co.uk The Castle Gallery is situated in the lee of Inverness Castle.

The building dates to the early 18th century and has been sympathetically restored to provide an ideal gallery space on two floors with exhibitions of original contemporary fine and applied art by artists from Scotland and throughout Britain. A close relationship with our artists ensures the finest possible selection of works from both established artists and emerging talent.

The Castle Gallery is delighted to be hosting another exhibition of Ian McWhinnie’s work, continuing our long-running association since 2002. His first exhibition here was of ceramics and paintings, as he turned full-time artist after years in the teaching profession. The students’ loss has been our gain! Exhibition continues until 3rd October.

Ian McWhinnie likes to travel and explore places from the inspiring Moray Coast to the warm climes of the Mediterranean and the USA. He paints in oils on gesso board, starting with a detailed tonal pencil drawing, followed by a thin monochrome painting over which the oil paint is subsequently applied. His paintings are finished by applying thin coloured glazes. Here are New York Parade, oil on board, 35 x 33cm and Window on Sienna, oil on board, 22 x 23cm.

The much-hyped new film, Odyssey, was partly filmed in Burghead – also the inspiration for this painting ‘Burghead Arch’ by Ian McWhinnie. The sands below Findlater Castle stood in for Odysseus’ landing site and is just a stone’s throw away from the source of the serpentine used by Gary Webster in his sculptures. Coincidence or what?

Many of Ian McWhinnie’s paintings for his forthcoming show evoke the geology and history of the Moray Coast. His work has been paired with hand-carved sculptures made from serpentine, a metamorphic rock found on the Moray Coast, by Gary Webster. Here are McWhinnie ‘Portsoy Portrait’ and Webster ‘Herdmanston Hare’.
