We are delighted to present 60° North, the first solo exhibition by Shetland-based artist Ruth Brownlee at The Scottish Gallery.
Working in close rhythm with her environment, Ruth Brownlee paints the Shetland seascape with an instinctive sensitivity to its elemental drama. Her work is shaped by Shetland’s ever-changing skies, tidal moods, and raw light, offering not a literal depiction but an immersive emotional response to the northernmost edge of the British Isles. Brownlee’s practice has become synonymous with the Shetland landscape. With each brushstroke, she communicates the subtle power and magnetism of life at 60° north.
