Dr Ian McKenzie Smith (b1935) studied at Grays School of Art, Aberdeen from 1953-1958.

Ian McKenzie Smith’s work shows his continuing commitment to a distinctly personal brand of landscape based abstraction: a subtle evocative way of painting that owes something to Eastern traditions, as well as the American colour-field painters of the 1950’s.
A travelling scholarship took him to Paris, where he met the Japanese artist Kenzo Okada and encountered Zen philosophy.  An oriental sense of balance and calligraphic finesse has been a feature of his work ever since.

NOTE - Ian McKenzie Smith has 6 paintings in the show - only four are shown.

Colin Brown trained at the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee from 1982-1987 achieving a BA (Hons) and a Post Graduate Diploma.

His work is primarily mixed media on panel - collage and acrylic paint.

Having spent time living and painting in Europe (four years in Dusseldorf and 4 months on Florence), Brown has developed an international reputation.

His paintings pull together random elements and fragments into closely controlled compositions. They run a fine line between impulse and calculation and typically explore human history, urban imagery and popular modern culture.

They exploit the Dadaist ideal of looking at society in fragments.
