Northern Cliffs was made after the artist’s daughter’s working holiday to Fair Isle, inspired by her correspondence and snap-shots. It is a dark but beautiful description of sea and cliff, stack and reef, where seabirds wheel below the feet and a gentle surf washes into the deep sea loch.
About Denis Peploe
Denis Peploe RSA (1914–1993) was born in Edinburgh, the second son of the Scottish Colourist S. J. Peploe. Growing up within one of Scotland’s most distinguished artistic families, he accompanied his father on painting trips to Iona and the south of France, yet from an early stage developed an independent artistic identity and remained wary of direct comparison with his celebrated parent.
