Michael Robson

Having graduated in Drawing and Painting at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee in 2003, Michael's interest in the visible world has developed his practice as a landscape painter, where he is committed to the activity of easel painting outdoors, recording directly the effects of light he observes around him. His local environment of North Fife, where he lives by the shores of the River Tay, has made him sensitive to the landscape, and through painting the artist can transcend from the passivity of observation to a more active intercourse. Michael's interest in the landscape has resulted in the production of box after box of small studies, reiterated daily, and each particular to the nuances of colour and light special to his surroundings. The daily and seasonal changes of light particular to the area, nurture an ongoing relationship with the landscape, whilst providing material to sustain his technical evolution as a Fine Artist.
