Ross McCully - Art of Badlands on Fire

  • 3rd June 2023 to 24th June 2023
BADLANDS ON FIRE

‘Badlands on Fire’ stands as a distinctive collection 
of art arising from the creative partnership between 
musician Adam Nutter and Scottish artist Ross 
McCully.

Adam, renowned as the guitarist for the band ‘The 
Music,’ recently unveiled his inaugural solo album, 
‘Badlands on Fire.’ As part of the album’s overarching 
concept, Adam approached Ross to create a unique 
canvas for each track, drawing inspiration from the 
captivating soundscape.

Reflecting on the collaboration with McCully, 
Adam shares, “I came across Ross’ work online and 
something about his paintings resonated with me 
and seemed to connect with the music I was writing.”
“Each piece of music on the album evokes such vivid 
imagery in my mind that I decided to ask Ross to 
paint a canvas for and inspired by each track.”

“The pieces he’s come up with are stunning, bursting 
with colour and vibrancy and perfectly capture the 
emotional essence of each track. The collaboration 
with Ross has been a cathartic celebration of joy and 
hope for me”.

Art of Badlands on Fire launches in the gallery on Saturday 3rd June from 12-5pm with Ross in attendance and Adam Nutter as his special guest. All are welcome and refreshments will be served throughout the afternoon.
