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.
