“For an island that is relatively secluded, living on Uist doesn’t seem that way. Working life is visible everywhere.” Yasmin Davidson comments on her current home and inspiration for her paintings: the outer Hebridean island of North Uist. Certainly, none of her landscapes are sleepy. Be they from where she now lives or her travels in Canada, the artist’s works are both grounded in and lifting off from the scenery, with a distinct vein of magic realism like those landscapes of Peter Doig, one of the most renowned of living painters, and also from Scotland. The skewed perspective Davidson uses evokes landscapes and interiors that aren’t tamed, being too vast or various. Vibrancy is expressed by the brushwork and buoyant colours. The narrative suggested by titles such as ‘Forgotten Home’ and ‘Prayer Offering’ spurn the imagination on, to participate in the artist’s speculation as she is thrilled by her environment.
