To coincide with the Edinburgh Festival breeze are delighted to announce that three artists will be painting live during the month of August.

We are excited to be hosting a different artist each weekend where they will be painting live in our Jenners gallery, giving visitors and collectors alike the chance to watch the artists create a selection of wonderful pieces. Below are the artists appearing.

Live Painting Schedule

Philip Raskin

Sunday 21st August

Philip studied at the Glasgow School of Art. Over time he has developed a painterly impasto style; using the texture of the paint and the shape of the brushwork, he gives each of his luminous landscapes its own reality, rather than allowing it to be a smooth window onto a world beyond.

“I tend to paint very private places for the viewer to own and enjoy; no people, no houses, no telegraph poles -just the driftwood of an ebb tide, mist tumbling on a distant hilltop and silence broken only by lapping water and gulls ascending.”

Geoff Marston

Saturday 27th August & Sunday 28th August

Geoff attended art college in the early sixties and went on to lecture and teach art for over 30 years. Throughout that time he continued creating and exhibiting his artwork through mixed shows and one man exhibitions. His lifelong passion of Blues music has inspired much of his wonderful collection that includes box canvas’ and unique cases.

“What I find particularly fascinating about the Blues from a visual standpoint is the large number of contrasting characters that the music has within it.”

Krzysztof is a passionate artist who is now living in the Scottish Borders after being born and raised in Poland. His collection of art includes a series comprising of Scottish Landscapes and we were delighted to be welcome him into our Jenner’s gallery during the Edinburgh Art Festival.

“Landscapes remain an indissoluble part of my painting, giving it the characteristics of the broader “freedom and deep breathing.”
