The mixed spring exhibition at Eion Stewart Fine Art in Stonehaven is Serendipity, in which the meaning of title – ‘The occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way’ – refers to a selection of works, by twelve Scottish artists, which might never have been assembled had it not been for Covid diverting them from other exhibitions for which they were originally intended. This unintentional curation of paintings has resulted in a diverse range of Scottish landscapes, still lifes and abstract subjects in a variety of styles.
Serendipity is available to view on the gallery’s website until government restrictions are relaxed. Among the top-drawer artists on show are several well-known names, such as Ann Oram, Andrea Elles, Fiona Sturrock, John McClenaghen, Morag Stevenson, Siobhan O’Hehir and Victoria Broxton.
