CONTEMPORARY WATERCOLOURS
Recent Watercolours 2024-26
Alison Dunlop RSW explores the shifting boundary between observation and imagination, creating watercolours of remarkable luminosity, depth and emotional resonance. With intense, sweeping gestures, she draws from watercolour a profound richness and integrity, allowing pigment, water and light to express the experience of being in the landscape itself.
Rooted in the remote coastal margins of northern Scotland, her work reaches far beyond description. Sea, wind and stone engage in their constant conversation; forms emerge, dissolve and gather again as colour and water move across the paper. The landscape is observed, but also felt — elemental, immediate and alive.
There is something compelling in this alchemy of pigment and light, motion and reaction, presence and passion. Dunlop transforms the particularity of place into something that remains quietly universal: an experience of landscape poised between the seen and the imagined.
