Collectors Item 

Dappled brushwork, delicate hues and 
cloisonné textures dance across the surfaces of Cranston’s still lives, 
landscapes and interiors
Scottish painter Andrew 
Cranston (born 1969) creates transporting images that destabilize our 
sense of time: they invite the viewer to explore a space between 
nostalgia and the realm of the dream. Dense blots of oil graze on top of
washes of distemper, guiding the viewer’s eye through thick and thin 
layers of pigment. The paintings gathered in Waiting for the Bell
conjure a state of liminality―the feeling of being suspended in a dream
before the alarm jolts one back to reality―and draw from stories, poems
and experiences that emerge from the artist’s subconscious. Each 
painting’s layering is guided by intuition: a reference to a Carole King
album cover is interlaced alongside allusions to jazz history, the 
writing of Muriel Spark and visions of the Scottish coast.
