From the Forest to the Forge is accompanied by a richly illustrated publication that offers a compelling reflection on the forces, both natural and industrial, that have shaped Britain’s landscape and identity. Goudie’s work embodies a profound respect for craft, endurance, and the enduring dialogue between human endeavour and the natural world.

Lachlan Goudie (b.1976, Glasgow) is a Scottish artist based in London, who is also a published author and broadcaster whose work bridges painting, storytelling and cultural history. Equally at home in the studio, on location or in front of the camera, Goudie has become one of the most engaging public voices in British art, while maintaining a distinguished practice as a painter of landscape, portraiture, industry and still life.
