Artist's label verso
Note 1: An extremely rare auction appearance for a work by one of Scotland's most collected artists of recent years.
Note 2: Based in Perthshire, Ron Lawson is widely regarded as one of Scotland's most original and distinctive contemporary landscape painters. His unique and instantly recognisable style has met with an extraordinary response throughout the UK and abroad, where his works of the Scottish Islands and the Highlands are enthusiastically collected. Born in 1960, Ron spent his early years on a farm in Mid-Lothian, Scotland before a career took him to the art studio of publishers DC Thomson in Dundee, where he progressively developed the dynamic and highly individual palette and technique that is central to his work today. With a passion for dramatic and sparsely populated locations, Ron has spent many years exploring and capturing the wild remoteness and majesty of the Outer Hebrides and Scottish Highlands. In 2010, after 34 years, Ron left his career to concentrate his time fully on painting. His remarkable, contemporary Scottish landscapes appeal to an international audience, and are included in private collections worldwide. Ron exhibits regularly throughout the UK, United States, Singapore and Hong Kong.
