DANNY
ROSS graduated from Gray’s
School of Art in 1974, then gained a Post Diploma in Drawing and
Painting. He was also awarded a travelling scholarship from the Royal
Academy Schools, London. Since then he has painted and worked in various
parts of Scotland but returned to the North East in the mid 1980s and
opened Tolquhon Gallery in 1987. He has exhibited widely and his
work is held in many collections, both private and public. This is his
largest exhibition to date with over 30 new paintings. “Over the
past two years I have travelled extensively from Yeat’s country and
Ben Bulben in the west, in Ireland, to Aberdeenshire’s magnificent
coastline in the east, from the sharp serrated defile of the river Esk
in the south up to Birsay and its bay and brough in the far north, in
Orkney. I have been cold as the many snow covered and frosted landscapes
testify. I have been blown about, witnessing crashing waves and
wind-chilled clifftops. And, just occasionally, I have felt the warmth
of the sun. Whatever the weather, I have been constantly exhilarated and
excited by landscape and have aimed to transmit that exhilaration
through my painting.”
