An award-winning young north-east artist has won another accolade with her latest work, now on show at Aberdeen Art Gallery. Visitors to the city’s Nicole Porter Gallery were able to see the 10ft by 4ft triptych take shape over the past six months, as 24-year-old artist Nicole Porter worked on the oil on canvas painting in the King Street gallery that is also her studio. She completed The Burns Supper – an atmospheric and striking blend of figurative, still life, land and seascape painting – as her first contender for entry in the annual Aberdeen Artists Society Exhibition. The picture received a commendation and is now among selected works in the show that continues until May 28. The ex-Ellon Academy pupil, whose home is at Whitemyres Croft, Daviot, near Inverurie, graduated with a first-class honours degree from Dundee’s Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and went to study with world-renowned painter Odd Nerdrum in Norway and later Paris. She began The Burns Supper after returning from New York to open her own gallery. The Dundee Collected exhibition of works by artists who have either worked or studied at Duncan of Jordanstone continues until the end of this week at The Nicole Porter Gallery.
