Rose Strang SSA

Rose Strang’s inspiration comes from her relationship with landscape and the traces of memories it holds. Her process often includes research into history, literature and music.

Born and currently living in Edinburgh, Rose has exhibited throughout the UK at the Royal Scottish Academy, City Art Centre Edinburgh, Open Eye Gallery Edinburgh, Heriot Gallery Edinburgh, Resipole Gallery Scotland, Kilmorack Gallery Inverness-Shire, Limetree Gallery Bristol, Graystone Gallery, The Demarco European Art Foundation and Demarco Gallery, Corte Real Gallery Portugal and Gallery One Berlin. In 2018 she became a professional member of the Society of Scottish Artists (SSA) and in 2020 she was commissioned by Folio Society London to illustrate their 2021 publication of The Living Mountain by Nan Shepherd.

Times critic Giles Sutherland on Strang’s Living Mountain series:

 A symphony of subtle essences, distilled experiences, fleeting memory fragments and deep, heartfelt lingering impressions … these paintings work slowly, generatively taking hold of our senses and our imagination. ***** five star Times Review 2023

Robert MacFarlane, author of The Lost Words, The Wild Places and Underland.

In Rose Strang’s extraordinary paintings, no focal point is privileged. These are intensely dynamic paintings. Landscape, here, is not static backcloth or wallpaper … Water, in Strang’s paintings, is made strange again to the eye … astonishing in its persistence, dramatic in its presence.
