Robert Innes

Robert Innes is a self-confessed ‘plein air’ painter whose work very much at tests to this. His work ranges from the Southern light of Aix-en-Provence to the more demanding light of Argyll in the West of Scotland. It is obvious that he is at home in both climes and tackles each subject with a fresh and natural talent which, at times, is concerned with a tranquil and serene approach and, at other times is much more dynamic. That Robert is a committed painter is without doubt and the fact that he has amassed so much work is further proof of his dedication. He has exhibited widely in Scotland, including the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, the Compass gallery, and Roger Billcliffe Fine Art, Glasgow.

Collections:

His work is in private collections throughout Europe, North America and Australasia. It is represented in public and corporate collections including: Paintings in Hospitals, Kirkcaldy Art Gallery and Stirling University.
