\t<div class=\"ngg-clear\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>One of Compass Gallery&#8217;s past New Generation artists, Owen Boyle has been quietly working over the years, building this fascinating body of beautifully crafted, contemplative landscapes. Boyle&#8217;s paintings are a marriage of imagination and reality; a fascination with realism and emotion. His work focuses on those small green spaces that have been culitvated and maintained by so many of Glasgow&#8217;s tenement residents, old and new. The buildings have gone, but the gardens, once the pride and joy of the gardener, are now slowly sinking back into the green. The landscapes from this moment on present anomalies, mysteries, ghostly totems and fragments of architecture being slowly engulfed by the ever-encroaching undergrowth: meta-scapes, steeped with serious meanings, memories, and traces of humanity.<\/p>\n<p>Boy;e sees a direct correlation with Beckett&#8217;s &#8216;Texts for Nothing&#8217;, in particular, his meticulous descriptions of space and environments, and their relationship with the figure. His misty landscapes are inspired by his regular walks on the Isle of Arran, and depict fleetingly familiar places. There are indications of movement, passages through both the landscape and of time, impressing a route on both the land and the memory; a journey from one place to another. The paintings explore these trodden paths and strangely familiar landscapes, encountered as we pass through them. Boyle was born in Glasgow in 1963, and studied at Wimbledon &amp; Glasgow School of Art. Exhibitions include the Royal Glasgow Institute; the Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh; Compass Gallery, New Generation Exhibition (1997); Intermedia Gallery; Fringe Gallery; Paisley Art Instititute; Compass Gallery, Christmas Show &amp; London Art Fair (2011).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of Compass Gallery&#8217;s past New Generation artists, Owen Boyle has been quietly working over the years, building this fascinating body of beautifully crafted, contemplative landscapes.
