Geraldine Girvan 2009
Geraldine Girvan has been exhibiting at the Chris Beetles Gallery for twenty years and, in that time, she has consistently proven that the strong tradition of Scottish colourists is still very much alive.
The resulting work, in oil and watercolour, tends to present a domestic paradise, by blurring the distinction between interior and exterior, and also between objects and surfaces.
In addition to regular – biennial – shows at Chris Beetles Gallery, she has exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy, the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour and the Royal Watercolour Society.
“These are the kind of pictures which make you glad to get up in the morning to catch your first glimpse of them and rejoice again that they are in your possession and adorn your house. They are full of sunshine and clear light, they radiate optimism and …What more can a painter do?”
Paul Johnson
