A printmaker turned painter, Scottish artist Euan McGregor has always blurred the lines between the two mediums in order to create lightly layered works that convey depth within the otherwise block coloured shapes and angular framework which his paintings typically portray.

Time and time again artist Euan McGregor revisits subject matter that captures the intersection between the man made and the natural world, combining Scottish landscape and Scottish architecture; His compositions are littered with depictions of where the inhabited land meets the sea, creating a plethora of contrasting textures with which to play.

The smooth concrete and linear structure of the buildings in Euan McGregor’s paintings not only work in opposition to the natural forms in amongst which they find themselves placed, but also make impressions onto the natural landscape; from the shadows the buildings cast to the physical manipulation of the terrain. This is something Euan McGregor subtly highlights and works into his paintings though layering and over printing.

Despite teaching Art & Design at a secondary school in Renfrewshire near to where he lives with his family in North Aryshire, Euan McGregor still finds the time to exhibit his Scottish artwork in the PAI, RGI and RSA annual exhibitions as well as at numerous British Art Fairs.

Euan's paintings are on display at Red Rag Gallery in Stow on the Wold.
