Ewan McClure | The Act of Painting

22 March 2025

Still Life | The Beauty of the Ordinary offers a small homage to the monumental Les Choses exhibition held in The Louvre in 2022.

Peploe is regarded as a master of the still life genre, and his influence continues to resonate today. To bring this tradition into the present, Guy Peploe has invited Ewan McClure to create a series of still life paintings using several of his grandfather’s objects. We begin our exhibition with McClure’s The Act of Painting, a contemporary nod to the Scottish still life tradition.
