Land and Sea
27 January-3 March. Entry free. Fidra Fine Art, 7-8 Stanley Road, Main Street, Gullane, EH31 2AD.
A deep connection to the land and sea links together the artists on display in this exhibition, at Fidra Fine Art Gallery. Kirstie Behrens focuses on detailed etchings of Highland landscapes as well as the woodland around her home in Fife. Andy Heald and John McClenaghen both paint outdoors when they can, especially around the coast of East Lothian. Both artists create canvases which are highly expressive, but the results are very different.

Artist Brandon Logan is cementing his growing reputation with his first museum show at the Pier Arts Centre in the Orkney Islands – the place where he grew up and to which he has since returned to live and work. His show at Ingleby gallery builds on that work. His paintings have, as he describes it, a sculptural presence as they hang away from the wall on raised batons.
