In partnership with Graystone Gallery, curators of contemporary Scottish fine art, we’re delighted to announce ‘Dapper Dogs & Downtown’, a stunning new solo exhibition by artists in residence, Leon Anderson and Wendy Davidson at Kimpton Charlotte Square this summer. With 20 evocative pieces on show, art lovers will enjoy Leon’s unique approach and Wendy’s warm perspectives.
Leon takes a fresh look at familiar capital streets, inviting us to appreciate and value historical city. He also shares some of his inspired dog portraits, highlighting the traits that make them so loveable. “I’m a passionate artist and animal lover and I like to combine the two where my style and approach derives from the old masters and fine traditional artwork,” says Leon.
Wendy brings a joyful vibrancy to Scotland’s capital city, injecting light and vitality into our familiar streets. A self-taught multi-disciplinary artist, she’s inspired by the many and varied cityscapes of her home town. “I use my connection to people and places to explore themes I feel passionate about,” she states.
Kimpton Charlotte Square Hotel Manager, Kieran Quinn is delighted to showcase Leon and Wendy. “As a dog friendly destination, we’re very happy to welcome back Leon and his Dapper Dogs. He was a big hit with our two and four legged guests last year,” he said. “We’re a proud Edinburgh hotel and I’m sure our guests will agree both Leon and Wendy’s Downtown scenes perfectly capture the spirit of our stunning city.”
