Original acrylic on canvas by David Page.

ARTISTS DESCRIPTION:

The marble quarry evokes both human craft and natural forces. In this painting, one side is marked by precise, geometric cuts, while the other is shaped by random washes, scrapings, and scratches, all beneath a merging sky and sea. The composition becomes a microcosm of the island itself.

It captures a snapshot of Iona’s enduring power of attraction: the interplay of its uniquely hand-built environment with the rugged, rocky landscape, lightly overlaid with soil and grasses.
