Following the success of his previous show Gray returns to the gallery with an equally exciting new collection. In these strong abstract canvasses the artist's imagination has been captured by the contrasting landscapes of Switzerland and New Mexico.
In this body of new works Gray also pursues another interest - man's intervention in the landscape. Industrial scars in the form of pylons and cables lend themselves perfectly to Gray's imagery. The scoring of the canvas, layering of the paint and the oily glazes help create and reinforce the mood of the places he paints.
Here are some of the works presented in the exhibition

The paintings of Alastair Gray gives me a warm. fuzzy, cosy sort of feeling through his warm and rather cool colours. I really like his style of painting, I want to learn how to paint like that.
