Daniel Roy Sharples: Solo Exhibition

Edinburgh & Hong Kong

For the first time, Daniel Roy Sharples brings together his paintings of Edinburgh and Hong Kong in a single exhibition, creating a compelling conversation between two cities that have played a significant role in his life and artistic development.

Painted predominantly en plein air, these works capture the unique atmosphere, light, and rhythm of each location. From Edinburgh's historic streets and ever-changing skies to Hong Kong's dense urban energy and vibrant architecture, Sharples responds directly to the world around him, recording not only what he sees but what it feels like to stand within these places.

Although separated by thousands of miles, both cities share a strong sense of character and identity. Through expressive brushwork and keen observation, Sharples reveals unexpected connections between them, exploring themes of memory, movement, and the experience of place.

This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to see these two bodies of work side by side, highlighting the contrasts and common threads that have shaped the artist's practice over the past decade.
