Catriona Campbell

and beautifully observed character studies. In this striking composition, Campbell brings together a zebra like horse, a costumed performer and a small dog, creating a playful yet carefully balanced scene that feels both whimsical and symbolic.

The central animal, adorned with a richly patterned red cloth, stands with quiet poise, its bold stripes contrasting against the warm, abstract backdrop. Beside it, a clown like figure dressed in red and beige holds a whip or lead, their posture suggesting both control and companionship. At the foot of the composition, a small dog gazes upward, adding charm and a touch of humour to the tableau. Campbell’s confident brushwork and warm palette infuse the painting with energy, while her instinct for gesture and staging gives the scene a theatrical, almost storybook quality.

This work exemplifies Campbell’s distinctive contribution to contemporary Scottish figurative art, blending realism with imaginative invention. Collectors of Scottish art will appreciate the painting’s rich colour, narrative intrigue and the artist’s unmistakable sense of character.
