When I painted Reception, I wanted to explore the other side of the idea behind Transmission. If one painting is about sending something out, the other is about receiving it.
There's a woman sitting quietly, looking out across a landscape. Above her is a strange geometric shape, and I've deliberately left it unclear whether she can actually see it. Perhaps it's something only we, as observers, are aware of.
I've long been interested in the possibility… that our minds pick up on things we don't consciously recognise. You know that peculiar feeling when something seems familiar, or when you have a strong impression about something but can't explain why? That's partly what I had in mind.
I enjoyed playing with the light and colours to give the scene an atmosphere that isn't entirely ordinary. Beyond that, I'd rather leave the interpretation open.

Ramsay Allan
United Kingdom
Ramsay Allan is a Scottish oil painter whose self-taught roots evolved through intensive study, weaving classical and contemporary influences into his practice. He skillfully unites traditional craftsmanship with surreal, symbolic imagery, blending realism and dreamlike elements through the evocative use of light, texture, and atmosphere. Allan’s artworks radiate mystery and introspection, powerfully conjuring the resilience and beauty of the human spirit, and inviting viewers to encounter profound emotional truths.
Working primarily in oils, Allan combines the technical discipline of classical realism with the emotive power of surrealism, creating works that speak both to the intellect and to the heart.
