In 2015 internationally-renowned artist Barbara Rae CBE RA RSA began a series of journeys of discovery into the Arctic, following in the footsteps of her namesake, the Orcadian explorer Dr John Rae. The resulting new body of paintings, monotypes and intaglio prints represents Rae’s deep-rooted fascination with the topography and history of place.

From her starting point on John Rae’s home isle of Orkney, Rae travelled to Greenland and Canada, voyaging through some of the most inhospitable places on earth.

Whilst her paintings and prints are known for their rich, Mediterranean palette, Rae’s expedition to the Arctic has triggered a shift towards deep blues and opalescent silvers, but the intense bursts of colour, for which her work is known, remain resolutely powerful.
