Allan J. Robertson

Allan J Robertson is a landscape painter, based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

He completed the Art Foundation Course at Leith School of Art before studying at Edinburgh College of Art from 2005-2009 gaining a BA (Hons) Painting & Drawing. Since then he has worked full time from his Edinburgh based studio. Robertson regularly contributes to group shows across the country.

His work is held in private collections in Scotland, Ireland, Germany, USA and Canada.

Robertson is interested in exploring architectural structures and foreshore.  He is drawn to the ambiguous spaces on the edge of the built environment where boundaries between civilization and nature, order and disorder, past and present have become blurred and indistinct and where overlooked landscapes of urban decay co-exist with the rural.

Robertson uses bold and heightened palettes to create atmospheric and intense paintings. He manipulates light and dark to contrast vast, intense skies and disquieting backdrops with detailed structural elements.

Different mediums and methods of applying paint are used to create the work. The techniques used to create the finished piece include dripping, layering and splashing paint, rubbing back into the paint, distressing the surface and utilising brushes and rags.

The resulting images are rich in texture and colour and evoke an intense sense of place.
