Shared Land brings together two contrasting landscape artists whose subject matter centres on Edinburgh and its surrounding countryside.
Sandra Vick is a Scottish artist specialising in painting and drawing. Her practice investigates landscapes and mountain environments, with a particular focus on the interaction between natural processes and human influence over time. Through careful consideration of silhouette, texture and spatial relationships, her work explores how foreground detail and distant forms contribute to a strong sense of place. Grounded in immersive observation, Sandra frequently works en plein air, producing studies directly from the landscape. These studies inform larger studio works, enabling her to respond intuitively to variations in light, weather and terrain. Sandra trained at Edinburgh College of Art.
Simon Rivett’s drawings of Edinburgh’s urban environment focus on refining and re-examining his visual interests. His subjects are often the closes and quieter suburbs of Edinburgh, chosen for their potential to explore light, shadow and strong compositional elements. Working with ink, gouache, charcoal, graphite and a range of papers, he values drawing for its immediacy and flexibility, embracing the rich variety of marks the medium offers. Simon trained at Goldsmiths College in London.
