Northern Lights Iceland

Artist and filmmaker G. Scott MacLeod painted his Northern Lights Iceland series, after his two SIM Art Residencies in Reykjavik, Iceland, in 2017 and 2018. He was drawn to the beautiful landscape of Iceland and drew and painted many of its features, from the black beaches and remote cliffs, to geothermal mud flats, mountain ranges, lava fields, volcano cones, waterfalls and coastlines. When he made his first Northern Lights painting, the bold contrasting colours brought him back to the first time he saw the Northern Lights in rural Canada. He has been to some of the best places to see the Northern Lights in Iceland and has since painted more than 30 Northern Lights paintings that are featured in this remarkable catalogue of his work.
