James Morrison (1932 - 2020) | Under a Northern Sky
11 April - 1 June
Under a Northern Sky brings together a special collection of the late James Morrison’s Scottish subjects. His move to Catterline in 1958 marked the departure from urban to landscape, and from here the northeast gradually became his primary subject. From the 1980s he pioneered the technique of diluting his paint which he would apply thinly to a primed board. This allowed him to work quickly outside, to build and chart the subtle tonal changes of the seasons and ever-changing skies. The 1990s saw a new connection established with Assynt in the northwest of Scotland, and later the Isle of Mull.?

Lara Scobie | Chroma
11 April - 1 June
This spring, we are delighted to welcome back Edinburgh-based ceramicist Lara Scobie who has made a new body of work?Chroma.
Developing new work for Chroma at The Scottish Gallery has enabled me to continue my dialogue exploring surface pattern in relation to form and volume, resulting in a gentle shift in the surface decoration with more textured pattern emerging. Some of the forms are completely submerged in finely inscribed drawing which envelopes the vessel. The interiors continue to be filled with bright, vibrant, strong colour forming a symbiotic relationship between the clean sharp lines and graphic patterns of the exterior surfaces.?Lara Scobie
Joanne Thompson | Chains
11 April - 1 June
With over 25 years of experience as a studio jeweller, Joanne Thompson’s award-winning, iconic chain designs are the creative outcome of finely skilled experimentation with ancient chain maille patterns. From her Edinburgh studio, Thompson plays with the scale, weight, form and texture of the chains, making sculptural forms which are voluminous yet light; tactile, full of movement and extremely durable. Her distinctive gold, silver and soft black palette is playful and sensual; elegant movement is integral to her jewellery – beautifully made, beautiful on and loved by the wearer.
