James Lumsden

Open Light is an exhibition of new and recent paintings by Inverness born painters Eric Cruikshank and James Lumsden. Both artists share an interest in the creation of a sense of light, space and depth emanating from within their work, which although influenced by minimal, abstract, and reductive painting, is rooted in landscape and a sense of place. The exhibition will be on view from April 6th to May 27th, 2024.
