David Cook | Continuing the Search

by The Scottish Gallery | Edinburgh
Date of event: 02/04/26 - 02/05/26

David Cook has lived and worked for over two decades at Seagreens Cottage on the edge of the North Sea, where garden meets coastline and weather sets the rhythm of each day. At the heart of Continuing the Search is the garden at Seagreens, an acre left largely untamed, pressed by salt wind and season. Observed across the turning year, it is presented not as idyll but as a site of renewal, where bulbs force through cold soil, grasses bend and rise again, and colour flares in spring and autumn before retreating. Working in oil with a vigorous, worked surface, Cook is a painter both rooted and restless, committed to the discipline of looking and to landscape as an inexhaustible subject.
