Summer Art In Show Eco-Home

A Kemnay show home has been transformed into an art gallery for the summer.

Huntly-based Deveron Homes has teamed up with a Kintore gallery for the "perfectly natural" move.

The Airt Gallery in Kintore has provided works of art for an exhibition entitled 'Landscapes for Life' at the Cairn View development of eco homes in Kemnay.

Admission is free and all works on show are available to buy.

Lynne Holburn of Deveron Homes said: "The subject of art and design plays a significant role in our vision for Cairn View, not least because the best creative minds were engaged in the design of this stunning development. Cairn View also comes complete with a private garden which is soon to serve as the backdrop for a dramatic public art installation so it seems perfectly natural to offer the wall space within the showhome as an exhibition space for local artists."

Jeannie Robinson of the Airt Gallery added: "We are delighted to link with Deveron Homes for this special exhibition which will focus on Scottish contemporary art, including works by artists Marion Macphee and Alan Campbell and sculptures by James Newton Adams. By showing art and sculpture outwith the confines of a conventional gallery setting, we hope buyers at Cairn View will be inspired to include original art in their new their home."
