Collection: Duncan Macgregor

Born in 1961- Duncan grew up in the Midlands where he still spends a substantial part of the year. Despite living so far inland- he managed to develop a passion for the sea- and spent a highly significant eighteen months sailing across the Atlantic and then around the coast of Britain. He now spends part of the year back home in the Midlands- and the rest of the time in Scotland.

Taking his inspiration from the surrounding landscape and of course the sea- Duncan is particularly fascinated by the effects of natural light on colour. His distinctive palette conveys the cool yet vibrant shades of sea and sky as they appear in the brilliant light of the sun. Verging on the abstract- his work is characterised by the dense application of richly textured acrylics- which create a sense of spontaneity and unstoppable energy.

Since turning professional- Duncan has enjoyed considerable success across the UK- displaying his work in both galleries and private collections.
