John McLean

Momentino 20 Apr - 18 May 2023 London John was a truly lyrical abstract artist. He spoke of his work as like singing and dancing. To walk into a room of large-scale canvases by him is to be uplifted.

True to Nature

Trees in Scottish Art 23 Sep - 12 Nov 2022 Edinburgh Trees, as an extension of the natural landscape, have been weighted with meaning throughout the history of art.

David Eustace

Memento Mori 30 Jun - 26 Aug 2022 London “Many celebrate the cherry tree blossom in full bloom, while others grow disappointed when its flowers last only a few weeks, having waited so long to witness such splendour.

The Glasgow Boys

30 Jun - 26 Aug 2022 London When the Glasgow Boys rose to prominence in the 1880s, there was a sense of wonder at how a group of Scottish painters could hold such sway in the academies, salons and secessions of western Europe and North America.

Peter de Francia 1921-2012

4 Mar - 2 Apr 2022 Edinburgh, London Peter de Francia’s vibrant palette, dynamic compositions and evocative subjects reflect a style of painting that developed out of Picassos’ modernism.

Rituals

New sculpture by Tim Pomeroy 18 Nov - 23 Dec 2021 Edinburgh For Tim, ritual is a multi-layered term.

On another, notions of ceremony and mysticism are embedded in the forms these works take... Read more

Barbara Balmer

Her quiet, often large-scale oils, belie a poetry of mood. Their stillness gives... Read more
