Dougie and Morag Muego, studio 16 on the green route, have an exhibition currently running at Hullabaloo Restaurant in, Dumfries this goes until the 2nd June. Dougie is showing six paintings of Mediterranean fishing boats there, which he specially made for that show. There are new ideas in these paintings, which are richer and more concentrated than those at his recent show at Kirkcudbright. It enabled him to push his ideas about colour a bit further. The paintings have a cheerful look to them and were made after visits to the south of France in 2007 and 2008. The boats come from the ports of Nice and Villefranche and some from fishing harbours on the Italian Riviera.
Morag is showing paintings on themes related to ideas, feelings, memories and relationships. Her “landscapes” are landscapes of the mind, pictorial maps which chart unseen and intangible worlds.She uses a vocabulary of favourite motifs placed against strong colour fields and uses the subtlety and richness of oil colours to create mood and atmosphere in them.
