Scottish Art: Georgie Young paintings from Red Rag


The featured artist on the Red Rag Blog today is Scottish Artist Georgie Young.




Georgie Young is a graduate of the Glasgow School of Art. Her work is inspired by the Scottish landscape. Georgie aims to evoke a feeling and capture a sense of place in her paintings. She seeks to create atmosphere or an unexpected detail rather than reproduce a direct likeness.



Georgie Young contemporary paintings are a product of observation, interpretation and improvisation. The original observation is processed, re-examined and the essence abstracted. Young's paintings attempt to reveal the unexpected beauty of un-remarked places, the interplay of light, time, weather and season on everyday landscapes, and the presence and influence of the human on the physical environment.




Georgie Young paints primarily in acrylic using a bold palette and rich textures. Red Rag Gallery has been showing Georgie’s paintings since 2004. She has an enthusiastic following of art collectors. For more details contact the gallery.

Ann Shrager painting at Red Rag Bath Art Gallery


Today’s Red Rag post features the art work of talented British Artist - Ann Shrager.




Ann Shrager was born in London in 1948 and studied art at the Byam Shaw School of Painting. She then attended the Royal Academy Schools in London.



There is a quietness about Ann Shrager’s art work. Although colour plays a key part in her paintings there is a subdued softness to her modern art. This coupled with simplicity and space are recurring themes in Ann Shrager paintings, making them enduring modern art pieces.




Along with fellow artists David Cobley, Charles Hardaker, Ken Howard, Karolina Larusdottir, Andrew Macara and William Selby - Ann Sharger is a member of the New English Art. Ann’s art work is regularly exhibited at NEAC art shows.







Much of Ann Sharger’s art work is inspired by observation from her regular travels. Today’s post was inspired by a visit to India. The painting is titled ‘The Bridegroom’ and is a little gem of a painting. She has successfully captured the moment.






Paintings by Ann Shrager are available from the Red Rag Bath Art Gallery.

Painting by Karolina Larusdottir from Red Rag Gallery


A Happy New Year from all at Red Rag Gallery



For our first post of the new year we feature the art work of Karolina Larusdottir . Karolina was born in Reykjavik, Iceland in 1944. However she has lived and worked in the British Isles since the 1960’s and today is very a much a British Artist in terms of style and approach.



Karolina Larudottir studied contemporary art at the Ruskin School of Art in Oxford. She is an elected member of: the Royal Society of Painter–Printmakers; the Royal Watercolour Society and is also an elected member of The New English Art Club which includes other Red Rag artist members David Cobley, Charles Hardaker, Ken Howard, Peter Kelly , Andrew Macara and William Selby.

Karolina Larusdottir's unique vision of both her homeland and England has won her a deservedly high reputation in the fields of contemporary painting. Many Larusdottir contemporary paintings are rooted in her upbringing in Iceland. Her Grandfather was the owner of the first grand hotel in Reykjavik. Glimpses of this busy environment, scenes of chambermaids, chefs and waitresses in the kitchen are engagingly evident.



In some paintings Karolina Larusdottir creates a world of her own, with imaginary people in strange situations, often floating, carrying rainbows or being visited by angels. Often Karolina’s contemporary paintings contain a wry humour that enhances the surreal and timeless qualities she creates when dealing with her favourite subject - people.



Karolina Larusdotir successes include many solo and mixed art shows in the most prestigious exhibitions of modern art in Britain, Europe, Africa and USA. In 1993 and again in 1997 the Royal Academy used her paintings to advertise the Summer exhibition.
