| Redspot was founded in 2001 by a collective of some of the finest wildlife artists in the UK. Together they are widely regarded as one of the most innovative artistic groups in their field producing work of the very highest standard in a diverse range of media – delicate watercolours, bold oils, detailed scraperboard and beaten metal sculptures. These eight artists are defined by their talent and passion for representing their vision of nature and wildlife through their art. They are all deeply knowledgeable about the rural environment and its wildlife and their commitment to conservation shines through everything they do. They have held numerous exhibitions throughout the UK over the past 20 years, their work is collected worldwide and has been reproduced in dozens of books and periodicals.? We are delighted to present Redspot’s UNLOCKED exhibition, which marks their 20th anniversary, although it is so sad that circumstances mean they are unable to celebrate with you at a proper viewing and this has to be a virtual show.? For the artists, life has not changed very much in the past year – they are used to leading a fairy solitary existence in our studios – and have been extremely lucky to have been able to carry on working throughout the Covid restrictions, but will miss getting together as a group and seeing so many of the friends we have met at exhibitions over the years.? Generously, they are giving a percentage of all sales made during the exhibition to the Atlantic Salmon Trust , for which we are most grateful. You can still view artwork by the Redspot Artists, but the Redspot UNLOCKED virtual exhibition has now closed. |
