Watson Gallery celebrates one of our most popular local artists

Jason Cordingley, Watson Gallery, Watson Gallery Edinburgh

Jason Cordingley's energetic, expressive landscapes and cityscape art have captivated Watson art gallery visitors since his works first arrived.

He has grown a local following through his paintings of Edinburgh and the Scottish coastline, and has more recently produced some international works featuring cities and landmarks from around the world.

Jason's unique take on contemporary impressionist style means he is able to capture the atmosphere, light and colour of each scene, while drawing the viewer in with vivid colour and rugged texture. The warm humidity of a summer evening in the city, a sharp breeze cutting through rough seaside grass, or the swift movement of a Manhattan street can all be felt through Jason's shades, shapes and hues.

To celebrate the release of two brand new cityscapes, Watson is holding a limited focus exhibition on Jason's artwork. It's a great chance to see a selection of works from Jason, especially for those who are looking for their next piece of art for home or office display.

With so many of our customers requesting edinburgh art, or scenes of the surrounding areas, we never have any hesitation in recommending Jason's work. As anyone who knows the city and coastline can tell you, it's not just about recognising the shapes of the monuments, street corners or beaches, but about recognising the place itself...

Fourteen of our favourite works are on display, with landscapes, cityscapes and seascapes included in the selection.

Come by and see these artworks in person while you can - the above Edinburgh cityscape has already sold!

"This photograph is personal. Scotland is my home and I think we did Glencoe proud."

One of our favourite ways to look back on the year past is through our installation photos. These are the times we get to see what our artists’ work looks like when it reaches the homes or workplaces of our clients – for us, that’s really what it’s all about.

Each work has its own narrative, in which Jane highlights the details and themes of the piece. In 'Masters of Skullduggery,' Jane reimagines the infamous Burke and Hare as two hares surrounded by skulls and corpse lights as evidence of their misdeeds… “Oh, these two are really bad boys… William Hare and William Burke, show committed a series of murders in 1828. They sold the corpses to Dr. Robert Knox for dissection in his lectures in anatomy. To make things more nefarious, when captured Hare turned King’s evidence against Burke and Burke was hanged. His body was donated to the anatomy class; it can still be seen today. Hare disappeared. A fitting story for dark Scottish nights…”

When the time comes to say goodbye to a precious artwork, whether to bring something new into your collection or to free up some cash, it’s important to find the right sales option. With so many art collectors now looking for their next piece online, EzelDotz’s web-based sales platform allows artworks to be discovered by collectors seeking works by their favourite collectable artists. EzelDotz also has a database of over 15,000 collectors to whom they will market new works, or help in their search for a particular artist’s work. They have recently been working on a brand new sales platform and will be relaunching soon! Watson has been working with EzelDotz for a number of years as a resale partner (previously under the name 'Sell My Artworks'.) We have even had the opportunity to display artworks owned by local Edinburgh clients at the gallery, by request of our own collectors. If you are looking to move on any works in your own art collection, visit EzelDotz to see how they can assist you as their new sales platform gets underway.

Local street artist Sleek’s Edinburgh workspace is located in the Queen Street Art Studio below Watson Gallery, and we enjoyed co-hosting his live painting demonstration… in keeping with his street art roots, he decided to work outside!

All of our guests had a fantastic time listening to David’s stories, behind-the-scenes adventures, and insights into his craft. We also had the opportunity to present a number of exclusive editions, which had been curated around the theme of David’s ‘Homecoming’ to Scotland. The series included three of David's rare and remarkable Scottish pieces, in a special smaller-scaled AP format. While these are not available for general release, if you would like to learn more about them you can contact the Watson Gallery team directly .
