Ann Oram: A Modern Day ‘Scottish Colourist’
Oram’s work is influenced by several 19th- and 20th- century artists. As a native of Scotland, she’s fully aware of the Scottish Colourists such as Samuel Peploe (1871–1935), Francis Cadell (1883–1937) and Leslie Hunter (1877–1931). She’s also a fan of English artist John Piper (1903–1992), who similarly combined delicate line over blocks of color and employed wax resist in some of his works. Another revered artist is French painter Raoul Dufy (1877–1953), who used line and color to create a delightfully light and pleasurable vision.
The Scottish Art Scene are featuring three very fine artists who will be exhibiting at the new Tatha Gallery in Newport-on-Tay, from 2nd August. With its unrivalled views of the River Tay, Tatha is an exciting addition to Scotland’s eastern network of fine art exhibitors.
Helen Glassford, founder of Tatha, comes from a family of artists and art collectors. Her “… love for art is infectious when she leads you into any canvas” and her profound knowledge of Scottish art today is reflected in the exhibitions she is presenting.
