A NEW exhibit portraying Scotland's diverse and unpredictable weather is set to open to the public.
Taking place at The McManus in Dundee, everything on display comes from Dundee's nationally recognised Collection of Fine and Applied Art.
Beginning on November 9, it will be free for the public to view.
Anna Day, head of cultural services at leisure and culture dundee said that the “stunning” selection communicates the relationship between Scotland’s elements and our emotions. She added: “It beautifully captures our deep and lasting connection with the weather and the ever shifting skies that have long inspired artists to create works that reflect both the power and subtlety of the elements.”
Each work has been matched with a word that describes weather in Scots.
Scots, which has 421 different words for snow, will be showcased as part of the exhibition.
Lesser known words in Scots vernacular, such as fissle (the noise of the wind among leaves), and feuchter (light snow), are featured beside the art – further educating the public on the historic dialect.
Day explained that the art “not only showcases glorious scenes but also highlights how weather influences our daily lives, shaping our moods, culture, and even language".
“By pairing evocative artworks with Scots words, we invite visitors to explore the rich interplay between art and the environment around us," she said.
Among these unique pieces, visitors can admire Second World War pilot Jon Schueler’s abstract expressionist work of the Scottish skies.
Stanley Cursiter’s famous Rain on Princes Street will be on display and Scottish landscape painters such as John Morrison can also be found at the exhibition.
