Alan Hayman, a highly acclaimed painter known for his stunning depictions of the Scottish wilderness, is thrilled to announce his latest exhibition, Land & Sea, which will be on display at Resipole Studios. With his masterful brushstrokes, Alan brings to life the diverse landscapes of Scotland, from the majestic peaks of Glen Coe to the tranquil pine forests and sun-kissed beaches of Luskintyre. But what truly sets his work apart is the hidden element of wildlife that can be found in each painting.
At first glance, one may not notice the intricate details of the animals that lurk within the landscapes. But upon closer inspection, there is a sense of wonder and awe as puffins gracefully soar above crashing waves and deer seamlessly blend into the mountainside. It is evident that Alan has a deep-rooted love for Scotland's natural beauty, and this is reflected in every stroke of his brush.
Born in Montrose in 1947, Alan's passion for painting began at a young age when he would spend his days studying and drawing the birds around the Montrose Basin. Despite having no formal training, he has honed his technical skills and knowledge through his own study of the landscape and wildlife. He even taught himself taxidermy to gain a better understanding of the anatomy of the animals he portrays in his work. For Alan, painting is not just a skill, it is his life's purpose.
After working as a commercial artist for 15 years, Alan moved to the breathtakingly beautiful Glen Lyon in Perthshire. It was there that he found inspiration in his surroundings and opened his own gallery. However, in 2008, he made the move to the small hamlet of Drimnin on the west coast of Scotland. From his large workshop and studio overlooking the Sound of Mull and Tobermory harbour, Alan is surrounded by abundant wildlife and epic scenery, which allows him to truly capture the essence of his subjects.
Alan's paintings are highly sought after, both nationally and internationally, for their distinct style and intricate detail. His work can be found in collections around the world. When he's not painting, Alan spends his time exploring the Scottish coast on his boat, immersing himself in the beauty of his surroundings.
Land & Sea will be on display at Resipole Studios' main gallery from 29 September to 8 November. For those unable to attend in person, the exhibition will also be available to view online.
