Centenary Exhibition at The Scottish Gallery

Oliver Cook

Soft Divide

4 June 2026 - 27 June 2026

Working primarily in alabaster, Cook creates vessels and sculptural objects that are at once solid and atmospheric, shaped as much by light as by the hand. Soft Divide also introduces a new body of work in bronze.

Calum McClure

Laguna

4 June 2026 - 27 June 2026

Calum McClure presents a new series of paintings and monotypes inspired by Venice and its lagoon, Laguna. Developed over four years of repeated journeys by train from northern Italy, the works reflect the shifting atmosphere of the city across seasons and states of mind. Water, reflection and movement recur throughout, rendered through McClure’s instinctive, abstract language.

Ruth Leslie

10

4 June 2026 - 27 June 2026

We are delighted to present 10, an exhibition celebrating ten years of Ruth Leslie at The Scottish Gallery. Since 2015, Leslie has developed a distinctive practice creating playful, sculptural jewellery defined by precision, movement and form.
