Photographer Allan Wright of Zenwalls Gallery in Peebles has won the Abstract category in the 2020 Scottish Nature Photography Awards for his image Piscean Reeds, which he took at Woodhall Loch in Dumfries & Galloway. He says ‘I’d always thought the serendipitous arrangement of reeds suggesting Pisces symbols and curious, zen-like hieroglyphics was special.’ As well as Allan’s photography, the Gallery has contemporary art, including landscapes, still lifes, abstracts and floral and wildlife studies by a wide range of artists, including Angela Lawrence, Ann Armstrong, Davy Brown, Jemma Derbyshire, Philip Gunn and Lynn Rodgie.

The Gallery hosts regularly-changing engaging and thought-provoking exhibitions by established artists and exciting new talent. As well as our its seasonal mixed shows, it will host abstract art and photographic exhibitions throughout the year, seeking to serve as a ‘gallery-laboratory’, with an emphasis on experimentation and interpretation, focusing on exploring art in its historical, cultural and social contexts.
