Morag Muego has a new solo exhibition called Love Tokens at Castle Douglas Art Gallery. the "love tokens"of this title, are in fact, the paintings themselves. A love token can be described as something given as a sign of affection, and each piece of work celebrates something that the artist has seen, heard, remembered or experienced with love or affection and wants to share.
This allows a very wide range of subject matter, including landscape, figure and abstract work. The style of the paintings also varies, as each idea is allowed to speak with it's own voice.
This exhibition space has given Morag the opportunity to work on a much larger scale and several of the pieces have been made with the Castle Douglas art gallery in mind. These large panels are full of intense colour and simplified shapes - some are filled with the clear light and shade of the Mediterranean, others with softer, more mysterious forms.
Morag trained at Glasgow School of Art and works from her studio in Dumfries. She will be in the Castle Douglas gallery throughout the exhibition time and will be happy to talk to visitors. She is also taking part in Spring Fling Open Studios, Venue 76, May 29th - 31st and has another exhibition later this year in the Gracefield Cafe Gallery.
The exhibition runs from Tuesday 2nd March until Saturday 13th March and is open daily from 10am till 5pm, closed on sundays.
