Cairngorms artists Campbell Bryson and Angus Grant are reuniting for a joint exhibition at Spey Bank Studio 14 years after their first collaboration. The two were students at Grantown Grammar School when they held their show Sunshine and Shadows at the town’s Museum in 2011 and they are reprising the exhibition with Campbell now a painter, having retired from teaching and Angus the owner of Spey Bank Studio.

Both are landscape painters, with Campbell specialising in birch trees, and Angus depicting familiar landscapes of the Cairngorms, featuring lochs and mountains.

Spey Bank Studio features a shop, pottery, gallery and workshop space and is run by Angus, with Jane Candlish; it used to house Bank of Scotland offices until 2021, when the Bank closed.

Angus studied art at Central St Martins, and jewellery design at Middlesex University, and went on to teach Western Jewellery Design in Gujarat, India. After working as a jeweller for designer Kirt Holmes in London, he returned to the Highlands in the early 2000s to start his own jewellery business and teach art and design.

Campbell studied at Glasgow School of Art and has spent most of his life working and teaching in the Highlands, and was Head of Art and Design at Grantown Grammar School for 18 years, and now works at his home studio in Kincraig. His work is on show at the new Badenoch and Strathspey Community Hospital in Aviemore.
