Our Collector’s Eye series celebrates the vital relationship between gallery, artist, and collector. Art collections are testaments to lives well lived, surrounded by works that have brought enduring pleasure.

We are delighted to present the 20th edition of Modern Masters, a series that gives us the opportunity to pause, look back and celebrate the remarkable range of artists whose work has passed through The Scottish Gallery over the decades.

Scottish artists have used still life as a medium to explore beauty, transience, and material culture. Embracing both tradition and innovation, these artists have drawn inspiration from historical influences while pushing the boundaries of form, composition, and meaning.
