New Horizons: Emma Davis art exhibition opens at Studio Two Six One

The private view begins at 6 pm, inviting art lovers to preview Davis’s works in an intimate setting before the public opening on September 20.  The exhibition runs through until October 11, offering nearly three weeks to immerse in her vision.

Emma Davis is no stranger to the Scottish landscape—her painting style is well known for its textured surfaces, its delicate interplay of colour and form, and its capacity to evoke mood as much as topography.

Through Horizon, she navigates the liminal space between earth and sky, dusk and dawn, land and the light that defines its contours.

Each canvas offers not just a view, but an invitation: to slow down, observe, and reflect. The landscapes are expressive rather than documentary, imbued with a sense of memory and emotion as much as geography.

There is a tension in Davis’s work between what is seen and what is felt—a fog-lit glen, the melting horizon, the half-formed silhouette of hills under changing sky, limning all the beauty and melancholy of Scotland’s ever-shifting land. The paint is often worked, reworked; layers emerge, recede; light is teased out from under shadow.

“Horizon is about those quiet moments when the world feels suspended between day and night,” Davis explains. “I want each piece to draw you in and let you feel that transition for yourself.”

(Image: Each canvas offers not just a view, but an invitation: to slow down, observe, and reflect) Studio Two Six One, already a well-loved creative hub in Newton Mearns, provides the perfect setting for this collection. The gallery’s intimate, light-filled space allows visitors to slow down, reflect, and engage with the art in a way that feels both personal and immersive.

Whether you’re a longtime admirer of Davis’s work or simply curious about contemporary Scottish art, Horizon is set to be a highlight of the autumn arts calendar. With free admission and nearly three weeks to explore the show, there’s plenty of time to drop in, linger, and be transported.

Visitors stepping into Studio Two Six One from 19 September will not just observe—they will travel. Horizon: The Journey from Land to Light is a reminder that in art, as in nature, the edges are where magic happens.

Emma Davis Art Exhibition – starts 20th September – 11th October 2025.
