About Us

Welcome to our gallery in the lovely town of Auchterarder, Perthshire!

We opened on the 7th of June 2019. The space definitely looks very different from how it did when we found it, and with the help of one of our great friends, Connor, we managed to transform the property into a lovely space to display our amazing artwork.
Our aim is to create a space where anyone can feel welcome and to offer something for everyone.

The Artwork

We are delighted to have a lovely collection of artwork on display. Many of the artists and sculptors are local to us here in Scotland but we also represent artists from all over the UK and further afield. This makes for a diverse mixture of talented artist's work on display.
Along with the collection of original paintings, we have a variety of prints, as well as ceramics and glasswork from local creators. So if it's a gift or a little something for yourself, we are sure there will be something that takes your eye.

We are very proud of DNG Contemporary Art, from set up in 2019 until the end of 2024 the gallery was managed by our daughter, Victoria Backhurst and is part of our family-run business, under The Darryl Nantais Gallery which was originaly located in Linton, Cambridgeshire, opening in 2001 and also at Art Fairs as LINTON59. With Victoria now living on Skye, we happily continue what we started with her.
