Portal Painters has been exhibiting finely detailed figurative paintings by a unique group of artists for over fifty years. Their paintings are sometimes humorous, often surreal and always beautifully executed. The artists combine technical skill with imagination and though each painter has their own style and subject matter together under the Portal banner they form a coherent ‘school’ of painters. The work of Portal Painters has resolutely remained outside the fads and fashions of the art world.

Portal Painters exhibits the work of some 25 artists, adding new painters from time to time. With the exception of Isabelle Rozot, who is from Paris, the other artists are UK based, several of them are Scottish : John Byrne, James McNaught, Whyn Lewis, David Schofield, Andrew George and Heather Nevay all studied at Glasgow School of Art, which has produced so many of Scotland’s finest painters.
