We are delighted to welcome Lorna McIntosh for her first exhibition at The Scottish Gallery. Her work explores the connections and affinities between 18th Century chemistry, early palaeontology, mineralogy and emblematics and issues of a more personal nature, resulting in paintings with layers of meaning.
Lorna gave an artist talk on Saturday 22nd September to discuss her work in more detail, please click here to watch the edited highlights.
Lorna McIntosh studied painting at Edinburgh College of Art, graduating with BA Hons in 1995 and an MFA in 1997 and was elected as a member of the Royal Scottish Academy in 2012. She has won numerous awards, including the John Kinross (1997) and Salvesen (2002) travel scholarships from the Royal Scottish Academy. In 2011, a Residencies for Scotland Award from the RSA/Creative Scotland allowed Lorna to spend three months as artist-in-residence at Balmungo House by St Andrews, the former base of the Barns-Graham Charitable Trust.
