Exhibitions

The Phenomenal World is Helen Glassford’s second major exhibition with The Scottish Gallery. Glassford’s oil paintings draw on her memory, experience and observation of the remote areas of Scotland. They are places without names, but often looking to the north. Glassford works to shape space with simple washes and minimal brushwork suggesting movement, or at other times by building layers slowly and surely with pigment and glazes to reflect time passing.

This December we invite you to Emily Sutton’s Toy Shop, a special installation exhibition featuring a new series of paintings, prints and a room filled with memorabilia, furniture and Emily Sutton fabric by St Jude’s. The Scottish Gallery Press will also launch the first in a series of small format hardback art books.

A deep sense of history runs as a clear and consistent thread through the work of ceramic artist Katrin Moye. Her pieces draw on references to European Delftware, Italian Majolica, and French Faience pottery, while forms such as albarello jars, syrup jars, frilled pedestal bowls and ornate snake handled shapes evoke a pre-industrial age when skilled hands worked in kitchens, apothecary shops, and gardens. Richly detailed and hand-painted, Moye’s ceramics capture these historical influences, which she playfully contrasts with a wicked sense of humour.

Christmas Rocks! celebrates the timeless beauty and allure of precious gemstones through the lens of fine, contemporary jewellery. We have selected both contemporary and modern masters, each of whom uses stones that have captivated and inspired for centuries, ranging from semi-precious to diamonds, as well as non-precious materials.
