David Rae
Born: 1995
David Rae, like any good modernist, will not provide a key to interpret his work. He chooses a subject which can be described as landscape, but which owes as much to Magritte as to Claude or Constable.
Raised in southwest Scotland, David Rae studied Painting at Grays School of Art in Aberdeen from 2013 and 2017. Following his degree show he was selected for the 2018 Royal Scottish Academies New Contemporaries where he won both the Walter Scott and the David and June Gordon memorial trust awards. In 2024 he was shortlisted for the Gilchrist Fisher Award for artists exploring the theme of landscape.
