Belinda Gilbert Scott
Vigil II - Snow Covered Winter Landscape Through Window Impressionist Painting

2006

About the Item

A beautiful oil on canvas by Glasgow based artist Belinda Gilbert Scott depicting a snow covered winter landscape viewed through a window. The work is titled ''Vigil II'' and is likely related to a series of paintings that the artist created capturing the view from the Meadowside Granary in Glasgow and then the Glasgow Science Centre. Signed, dated and inscribed on the reverse. Artist: Belinda Gilbert Scott (British, b.1961) Title: Vigil II Medium: Oil on canvas Size: 20 x 24 inches (51 x 61 cm) As artistic lineages go, Belinda Gilbert Scott's is both impressive and daunting. Her father designed the prestigious Guildhall Art Gallery in London while her grandfather was responsible for a plethora of important buildings including Battersea and Bankside power stations in London, Oban and Liverpool cathedrals, and the iconic red telephone box. Her great, great grandfather was behind some of the University of Glasgow's buildings and St Pancras Station, London. Growing up, she says, her family's architectural and artistic accomplishments were rarely mentioned at home. ''It is in my blood,'' she says. ''But it was never pushed or talked about much in the family. My parents are very modest and it wasn't something they went around shouting about.'' Gilbert Scott, who is based in a static caravan in Balfron, Stirlingshire, spent a year at the now demolished Meadowside Granary in Glasgow, capturing the countless variations of seasonal light through a gap between two buildings. She started a series of paintings of the Clyde from the roof of the building but, when it was pulled down, she decided the tower at the Glasgow Science Centre would be the ideal vantage point to continue her work. She professes to a fascination for ships and is keen to do a series of paintings within one of the Clyde's many disused dockyards. But her quest for perfection will endure. ''There is luminosity I'm trying to achieve in my paintings,'' she says. ''The artist Samuel Palmer once talked about wanting his work to glow in dark corners. I feel much the same. I don't want it to shout. I want it to glow.''
