Glen Scouller, RSW, RGI
Glen Scouller, RSW, RGI is one of Scotland’s best known artists, but perhaps fewer people know that the entire Scouller family of four are artists of considerable talent. We are delighted that here at the Maclaurin Gallery they are exhibiting together in this new and exciting exhibition Drawn Together.
For Glen showing at the Maclaurin is not a new experience, he exhibited here in the early 1980’s, but for Carol his wife, a talented graphic designer and watercolourist, elder daughter Kim a portrait painter and younger daughter Lara, specializing in wildlife and nature, this joint exhibition is a first.
Glen and Carol, both graduates of the Glasgow School of Art, met there in the early 1970’s, married in 1976 and lived first in the West End of Glasgow, where elder daughter Kim was born, then moving to East Ayrshire before Lara joined the family.
In Drawn Together we have colourful examples of Glen’s landscapes in oils and watercolour, painted ‘en plein air’ a method he truly believes in. Working with and in front of nature has always been part of his practice and looking at the photographs taken of him painting outside, he is often surrounded by a fascinated audience. This exhibition also includes a number of his portraits and still lifes. He has work in major collections and has exhibited all over the world, has countless awards and honours to his name and remains one of Scotland’s most celebrated artists.
