CHRISTMAS EXHIBITION 2008 By The Herald 29/11/08





Kilmorack Gallery, by Beauly, Inverness- shire, 01463 782230 www.kilmorackgallery.co.uk Thur- Sun, 11am- 5:30pm until end of March.

Gallery owner Tony Davidson, of the Kilmorack Gallery near Beauly, always pulls together a fine gathering of artists for the annual Christmas exhibition. 3D makers in this show include Illona Morrice, Laurence Broderick, Angus Clyne, Lotte Glob, Sam MacDonald and Peter White. Gallery favourites James Hawkins, Robert McAulay, Eugenia Vronskaya and Kirstie Cohen also have some fine paintings on show, as do relative nercomers Frank To and Paul Bloomer.

Shetland- based Bloomer was born in the Black Country and worked as a labourer in an engineering factory before turning to art as a career. He spent a year at the Royal Academy in London and eight years ago, entranced by the ever- changing light of the Shetland Isles, packed his etching press in his car and headed north. His paintings, which burst with colour and energy, have a real graphic feel.
