In 2020 the Inverness Museum and Art Gallery will be a host to a wonderful piece of art – a gigantic ink sketch of Inverness, a city located in the Scottish Highlands, made by husband and wife Carl Lavia and Lorna Le Brendonchel. This piece is a part of their big project called “69 Cities Of The UK,” which involves creating enormous ink sketches of every town in the United Kingdom. Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh were the first three cities to be sketched.  

The beginning of each piece consists of extensive research consisted of gathering information from books, Google Earth, photographs, and other media. Then, Le Bredonchel creates the skeleton of the drawing, while Lavia builds up the buildings and streets in pencil and ink.  

Lavia is self-taught artist and he always had a passionate interest in maps, architecture and urban environment. Le Brendonchel studied at the University of Arts in London, and her job is to assist the sketching, document the ongoing process, do research and secure a space for the exhibition. 

All of the sketches they made so far were exhibited publicly and they even made a limited edition of signed prints and smaller format posters for collectors.

There’s something to be said about Andrew McIntosh’s paintings. His juxtapositioning of the real with the surreal makes for an uncanny experience. Derelict buildings turn magical with surreal interiors, forgotten house-trailers open up to reveal dramatic sunsets.

“Born in the Highlands of Scotland in 1979, I recall drawing from an early age; obsessively drawing and re-drawing pictures, trying to achieve perfect scale and interesting ways of devising images,” writes the painter on his website.

“My paintings are an exercise in attraction,” he explains. “Through them I am constantly searching for new ways of communicating with the viewer. By seducing them with my imagery, I try to create a new visual language with the power to pique their attention and make them stop to ask: why?”

His desolate landscapes and houses hold within them a secret; suggesting the presence of a narrative that exists as much in the viewer’s mind as in the painting.

Only question left is do you, the viewer, believe in magic?
