Fraser Gallery in St Andrews has new work by the multiple award-winning artist David Mackie Cook, whose studio on the Angus coast amid empty grasslands overlooking the North Sea provides a magnificent vista to inspire his work. Defined as an ‘art brut’ painter, Cook has transformed a ruined fisherman’s hamlet into a garden of figures and creatures, carving driftwood and fusing cement and fragments of crockery. His deeply embedded sense of belonging to his environment is reflected in the changing seasonal moods depicted in his work.

INDEPENDENT GALLERIES A good place to find independent galleries is the busy commercial area immediately south of the Trinity College campus, where several streets lined with some of Dublin’s finest Georgian buildings are home to a clutch of galleries.

The Doorway Gallery specialises in fine art paintings by Irish and international artists. Recognising that art is not a spontaneous buy, the gallery puts a lot of emphasis on familiarising the public with emerging artists, for example through its Getting to Know series of videos and Facebook Q&As showing artists at work in their studio, Arnaldo Pomodoro’s Sphere Within Sphere discussing their process and offering an stands in the grounds of Trinity College.

As well as featuring established and emerging Irish artists, Gormleys Fine Art shows work by important international contemporary artists such as Andy Warhol, Banksy, Damian Hirst, Robert Indiana and Keith Haring. A rear room devoted to sculpture is filled with natural light and the sounds from the water feature make it a lovely space in which to appreciate the work. www.gormleys.ie

Round the corner from the National Gallery, the Oriel Gallery deals in painting and sculpture from the late 19th century to the present. The oldest independent gallery Scotland in Ireland, its name by happy coincidence translates from the Irish as ‘window’ and from the Welsh as ‘gallery’.
