David Michie RSA greatly supported opportunities for artists’ travel throughout his life. His own post diploma ‘traveller’ was spent in Italy with John Houston - meeting latterly with Elizabeth Blackadder and Frances Walker. Throughout his career he continued to travel and encouraged students to also do so, absorbing and recording their experiences as reference for new work.
To coincide with The David Michie Gift exhibition, The Artist Traveller showcases works by some of the many artists whom the Academy has supported to travel in recent years. The RSA has a long history of disbursing funds for travel-based awards and residencies both throughout Scotland and abroad. This exhibition features works from a variety of RSA travel initiatives such as, the RSA John Kinross Scholarship to Florence, the RSA Residencies for Scotland, the RSA William Littlejohn Award and the Sabhal Mòr Ostaig Artist in Residence.
"This latest exhibition of Murray Robertson’s work reminds us that Scotland’s land and landscapes remain contested territory."

Exhibition: Between the Land and the Sea - until 24th April 2016
Royal Academy of Arts, The Keeper’s House, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London.
Selected by artist Barbara Rae RA, Between the Land and the Sea is the third in a series of themed exhibitions in the Keepers’ House, presenting limited editions and unique works of art for sale. This diverse selection of works explores the empathy each artist has with land or sea, or the conjunction of both, rather than any general exploration of landscape or views. Some of the artists are interested in environmental issues, while others explore the historical or contemporary aspects of a locality altered over time by humankind, or transformed by weather.
The exhibition consists of works on paper, many of them limited edition prints. “What I really want to communicate to people with this exhibition is the power of printmaking as a medium”, Rae says.
The painter and printmaker is an enthusiastic collector of prints herself: “It’s an incredibly versatile medium - it suits every artist. I think artists often express themselves in a completely different and much more genuine way in print.”
