Rab Wilson is a landscape, abstract, and portrait artist based in the Inverclyde village of Kilmacolm, and is a member of the Paisley Art Institute. Rab’s work is intuitive and physical, with textured layers that create a personal communication. He is fascinated with how the landscape reflects and exudes a synthesis of colours, tones, lines, marks, layers, and abstract shapes. In his work, Rab does not intend to be representational but reimagines what he has viewed in the landscape with the intention of capturing an emotion or conveying a message. He uses a mixed-media approach, utilising materials that include sand, paper, inks, acrylic, and oil paint.

The paintings in The Power of the Natural World explore the power of nature to both destroy or grow and decay or re-generate, and are inspired by the ever changing natural world. 

I have created textures, shapes, colours, and light, visualising what I can see and sometimes what I can only imagine. I am particularly interested, as an underlying theme, in the importance of trees to the environment and how they are affected by weather, the abstract shapes they create, and the effect that light has on them.

The Power of the Natural World by Rab Wilson runs at Six Foot Gallery from 19th May – 2nd June 2026. Connect with Rab over on Instagram or on his website.
