St Kilda
This new exhibition of paintings by Claire Harkess, showing at the Plockton Gallery, documents both the starkness and the beauty of the island of St Kilda. These poetic watercolour paintings are not reflections of a photographic vision but offer instead an artist’s impression and personal response to this extreme, inhospitable landscape and the birdlife it sustains. The images created are the visual expression of ideas of transience and endurance, balance and precariousness, darkness and light, and through them Claire reveals the essence of this hostile environment and allows the viewer to enter into the spirit of the place.
