COLOUR: The Palette of S.J. Peploe

This summer in Kirkcudbright Galleries, one of Scotland’s most important and best loved artists Samuel J. Peploe: COLOUR The Palette of S.J. Peploe Open  6 June – 4 October 2026 Over 60 paintings by this wonderful artist, who took such immense pleasure in the use of colour, who observed with such care and painted with such fluent talent,  will be gathered for Kirkcudbright Galleries 2026 Summer Exhibition,  entrance free. S.J. Peploe  (1871-1935),  celebrated worldwide as one of the leading Scottish Colourists,  was as skilled at portraits and landscapes as his much admired and hugely popular still life paintings. His use of colour was breath-taking.  His intense personal response to place,  to form, is clear in every painting. Like all great artists he absorbed from his peers and developed his own unique touch.  His life and work will be examined in this exceptional exhibition,  which brings together works from national collections and a great many from private collections never before seen in public.
