'A revelation' Owen Jones 'Afropean seizes the blur of contradictions that have obscured Europe's relationship with blackness and paints it into something new, confident and lyrical' Afua Hirsch A Guardian, New Statesman and BBC History Magazine Best Book of 2019 Afropean. Here was a space where blackness was taking part in shaping European identity ... A continent of Algerian flea markets, Surinamese shamanism, German Reggae and Moorish castles.Yes, all this was part of Europe too ... With my brown skin and my British passport - still a ticket into mainland Europe at the time of writing - I set out in search of the Afropeans, on a cold October morning.

Invoking the raw beauty and unbridled spirit of one of Scotland's most picturesque locales, this evocative print captures the essence of Crail Harbour wrapped in the dramatic embrace of a stormy sky. The sweeping abstraction beckons viewers to experience the harbour as if through the tempestuous heart of nature herself – where the boundaries between sea, land, and sky blur into a single breathtaking canvas. Dynamic brushstrokes render the sky a brooding tapestry of greys and blacks, interrupted by the defiant gleam of hopeful light, suggesting the mutable Scottish weather where sunshine and showers often collide. Amidst this atmospheric tumult, the harbour’s waters lie reflective and deep, with shades of teal and aquamarine suggesting both the depth and the turmoil of the sea beneath. The quayside homes stand as dashes of human warmth against the cool, abstracted backdrop, their orange and red roofs like embers in the cool dawn of the landscape. The quaint cottages sit in repose, depicted with a blend of geometric simplicity and a whisper of rusticity, evoking the peaceful resilience of harbour life. At the seafront, the boats — guardians of the harbour's legacy — float with a quiet grace, their forms simplified yet evocative, their colours a visual anchor in the fluidity of the seascape. The contrasting tones between the rich, dark hulls and the creamy sails catch the eyes, reminding one of the age-old dance between the mariners and the capricious moods of the sea. This print, an integral part of the 'Scottish Harbours' collection, offers not just a visual feast but an emotional journey. It is an abstract lens through which to view the storied Scottish coastline, a piece that does not simply depict a location but also conveys the very atmosphere that imbues it with indelible character. It is perfect for anyone who wishes to conjure the spellbinding allure of Scotland’s coastal enclaves within their own space.
