Abstract Landscapes

20 -30 September 2012
11am – 6pm
Most of my inspiration comes from the landscape around me, which I hope my paintings portray. My paintings are distinguished by bold colours, texture and dramatic contrasts. I like to paint abstractly dealing with colour relationships, texture and
movement. I don’t aim to create a specific landscape or place exactly, but aim to capture

Power to the Portrait
Contemporary Photography
Sylwia Kowalczyk, Sejin Moon, Claudine Quinn, and Simon Crofts
Four artists from Korea, Poland, Ireland and Scotland, living in Scotland, representing a multicultural Scottish photography scene, have diverse approaches to the still photographic portrait. These approaches include constructed images using body fragments and objects as a means of self-expression, through the use of cultural references and symbolism to explore gender relations, the expression of personal experience using portraits of others, and the expression of a personal existential state through portraiture.

An Alternative
In this collaborative exhibition, Morwenna Kearsley and blind photographer Rosita McKenzie will present photographic works based around their interpretations of science and art.
Taking an abstract approach to the natural world, Rosita’s digital colour images suggest a subterranean world, deep under the sea in which fantastic, fluorescent creatures inhabit an otherwise dark environment. Morwenna’s work for this exhibition has focused on the traditional idea of recording the human species. Taking inspiration from 19th Century scientists such as Guillaume Duchenne she has produced a series of work that both reflects the aesthetics of that time and explores the relationship between photographic art and science.
(The photographs exhibited are accompanied by an audio guide, braille, large-print booklets and wall-mounted labels, making the exhibition accessible to the widest possible audience.)

In the City
Robert Crozier
When I left Edinburgh College of Art, the contemporary painters that most interested me were Jackson Pollock, Arshile Gorky and Alan Davie. If the way ahead was to be abstraction, these were the painters who seemed to have made it a vehicle complex enough to retain interest. Yet my paintings at the time were never purely abstract. In them I was using imagery derived from the shoreline of the Orkney Islands where I was brought up. Since then I have lived in cities and drawing inspiration from them has led me to a more directly representational style. But my interest remains formal. It seems to me that the western painting tradition is all about arranging imagery in a satisfying equilibrium. I believe it still gives scope for inventiveness and aesthetic stimulation.
