Gleneagles Townhouse showcases Edinburgh artist Madeleine Gardiner

-New Exhibit ‘Scottish Light’ showcases local artist’s oil paintings in Lobby 37-

Edinburgh born artist Madeleine Gardiner will be the next in a series of Scottish artists to showcase her contemporary landscape paintings in Gleneagles Townhouse this April.

The Townhouse’s exhibition space, Lobby 37, will play host to a selection of Madeleine’s recent oil paintings inspired by memories of childhood holidays in the Scottish Highlands and the soft hazy light of Scotland.

The Exhibition, entitled ‘Scottish Light’, will run from Saturday 1 April to Thursday 27 April and will be available to view daily between 9am and 7pm for the public, and for members and hotel guests throughout their visit to the Townhouse.

Wild spaces, memory and atmosphere are key areas of concern in the artist’s work. 

While her early works reflect nostalgia of the rugged Scottish coast and lochs, over time this presence began to blend with images of her travels to places like Namibia, Arizona, The Canadian Rockies, Vietnam, and the Tyrolean Alps.

Her paintings represent composite landscapes built from memories connected through a shared aesthetic, and harnessing light and recreating the ways in which it alters depth is a primary focus in her process.

Madeleine Gardiner graduated from Edinburgh College of Art with a BA degree in painting in 2015, and moving to London in 2017. 

Two of Madeleine’s paintings are on display in the Gleneagles Hotel in Auchterarder.
