Wandering in Art Galleries. Tuesday, 12 June 2012. Journeys in Paint: More on ECA Degree Show, 2012. Gravitating to my chief interest, the painting department, the artists' work which attracted me most was that of Phyllis Clair Smith, Holly Prentice and Martyn McKenzie, all landscape/seascape painters but on different journeys. Hills', (Enamel, pencil on wood) by Phyllis Clair Smith. Process seems to be what interests her in her installation of film too, where the projector is more of a feature than the ...

Wandering in Art Galleries: November 2010
http://wanderinginartgalleries.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Wandering in Art Galleries. Saturday, 6 November 2010. Alisdair Gray, Blake and cigarette cards. Back to Alisdair - the disingenuous honesty of his revelations, also involve his private and sexual life. First, I must point out that Alisdair is never unkind, nor does he say anything about people he has known, other than what they would say about themselves. Quoting from Simon Groom's interview, here are some examples of Alisdair's ability to be humourous and uncomfortably honest at the same time:. A selec...

Wandering in Art Galleries. Friday, 25 November 2011. Body Bags, Simonides, Norman MacBeath and Robert Crawford. Body Bags installation at ECA, Edinburgh Festival, 2011. Body bags laid out in a row in a studio at Edinburgh Art School looked down on through the window by the grey walls of Edinburgh Castle, was an inspired, if grimly apt juxtaposition: the castle, we must not forget, was built for a military purpose, before it became just a tourist backdrop. The nummer o the swas. The number of the waves.

Wandering in Art Galleries: October 2009

Wandering in Art Galleries. Sunday, 25 October 2009. Turner in Low Light, Jan 2009. 19th January, 2009. Yesterday the Hub and I made our annual pilgrimage to the Vaughan Bequest of Turner paintings at the Scottish National Academy. The condition of the bequest was that the paintings should only be shown in January, having the lowest light of the year, to help preserve them. (Though since they are shown in artificial light, perhaps the low light of January is irrelevant.). Snow-capped serrated teeth of Mo...

Wandering in Art Galleries. Sunday, 26 May 2013. Artists' Open Studios, Spring Fling 2013. Silvana McLean in her studio at home in Moniaive. Given my interest in Orkney and Shetland which inspires my own poetry, it was inevitable that I was attracted to Silvana McLean's work. Silvana too is into poetry, marrying poem and art, even making poem bottles (as below), a neat reference to messages in bottle thrown into the sea. Poem/installations - Silvana McLean. It was more about living with the elements,.

Wandering in Art Galleries. Monday, 2 August 2010. Anthony Gormley 6 Times. I'm looking forward to tracking down all six of Anthony Gormley's statues along the Water of Leith. Unfortunately, I'm still convalescing from a hip op, so the steps down from SGOMA are beyond me as yet. The only one I've seen in the flesh (cast-iron) is the waist deep one on the pavement outside SGOMA. What? The last figure (or first depending on your direction of travel) looking out to sea in the port of Leith looks deeply sign...
