Jolomo - Dealbhadair nan Daoine

Documentary following popular Scottish artist Jolomo. With Sir John Leighton, Cathy MacDonald and Roddy Murray, this programme asks what motivates Jolomo to keep painting Scotland.

Tha dealbhan dathach fear-ealain Albanach, Jolomo, ri lorg anns a h-uile 脿it', gu tric a' sealltainn croit aig beul an latha, no beul na h-oidhche. Tha cuid a' cur luach m貌r air an obair aige; tha iad a' bruidhinn air an g脿irdeachas a tha ri lorg anns na dathan, is an co-dh猫antachd. Tha cuid eile ag radh gu bheil na dealbhan uile a' coimhead coltach ri ch猫ile, agus gu bheil an 脿ireamh dhuibh a'
toirt air falbh o chli霉 mar fear-ealain ceart. Tha John Lowrie Morrison a' tilleadh gu dachaigh a sh矛nnsearan 's na Hearradh airson a bhith a' toirt dealbhan, a' sgeidseadh agus a' searmonachadh. Na Chr矛ostaidh e fh猫in, tha an ealain agus an searmonachadh aige co-cheangailte ri ch猫ile, an obair aige na mh矛neachadh air a chreideamh. Le beachdan bho Sti霉iriche na Gailearaidhean N脿iseanta, Sir John Leighton, preasantair Cathy NicDh貌mhnaill, agus Sti霉iriche An Lanntair Ruaraidh Moireach, tha am pr貌gram seo a' faighneachd carson a tha Jolomo a' cumail air, a' dealbhachadh na h-Alba na dh貌igh annasach aige fh猫in?

The phenomenally popular Scottish artist Jolomo is featured in a special documentary on 麻豆官网首页入口 ALBA.

His brightly coloured landscapes, often featuring crofts painted at dawn or dusk, can be seen everywhere. Those who appreciate his work are energised by it - they speak of joy and celebration in the colours, textures and composition. His detractors describe him as a one-trick pony, his prolific output devaluing his status as a serious artist.

Jolomo (John Lowrie Morrison) returns to his Harris roots to sketch, photograph and to preach. A committed Christian, his painting and preaching are inextricably linked, his art a glorious celebration of his faith. With contributions from the director general of the National Galleries Sir John Leighton, broadcaster Cathy MacDonald and director of An Lanntair Roddy Murray, this programme asks what motivates Jolomo to keep painting Scotland in his unique style.
