Healing Art: four works to heal the world

Ade Adesina's work combines global images; from his African roots, travel, architecture, and animals - and creates woodcut and etchings that question the human footprint on the world.

Adesina is one of the most ecological and international artists based in Scotland.This giant woodcut ‘The View after the Question’ is inspired by global connectivity and how wealth can transform a landscape.

Shetland is famous forhaving very few trees, but they are there in cliffs and gorges where sheep can't nibble. These are relic trees. Paul Bloomer followed the pull of the north and now works from his studio opposite St Ninian’s Isle. His paintings and prints give voice to the birds, trees and stones of these northern islands.

In Bloomer’s work it is nature not man who tells the story.
