Dalziel+Scullion scoop another award

The internationally-renowned, DJCAD-based artists Dalziel + Scullion have won the prestigious RIAS Colour Coated Creativity Awards.

Matthew Dalziel explains, "The work comprises four stylised versions of common Scottish trees: a Scots Pine, a Rowan and two Silver Birches. Each bears the distinctive characteristics of its species whilst exaggerating other aspects of the tree. The design for these trees, which together make up the hospital's Ontological Garden, was inspired by children’s animations and Japanese Zen gardens."

Dalziel + Scullion's trees have been permanently installed in an enclosed courtyard of the Royal Aberdeen Children's Hospital, as part of a coordinated arts project involving integrated artworks by 10 artists.

Matthew added, "We are delighted to have received this award, and would like to thank the RIAS and Highland Colour Coaters."
