Note: Based in Angus, Scotland, Nael Hanna has long been regarded as one of the UK's most visionary landscape painters. His love of the Scottish north east coastline has provided the inspiration for much of his long career as a modern contemporary artist. He returns to the colours, textures and natural light that he encounters whilst out walking near his home in rural Angus, each time capturing something new, and detail previously unseen in his art. The wonders of the natural world and nature, are captured and form the essence of his painting. Nael first arrived in Dundee in 1983, the year in which he began his studies in drawing and painting at Duncan of Jordanson. In 1987, he won a scholarship to further his study at the acclaimed Hospitalfield Summer School, Arbroath, and it was during that time that he began to depict the dramatic coastline and imposing mountain ranges and spectacular waterfalls that he encountered in his travels throughout Scotland. Nael’s work has attained numerous awards and widespread acclaim in the UK and in many other countries including Malaysia, Egypt and the USA. As well as exhibitions at the RGI, RSA, SSA and the SSAC, Nael has exhibited in countless prominent galleries throughout the UK and his work is included within major public, corporate and private collections worldwide.
