BRAEWELL GALLERIES
Hidden depths
With premises in Glasgow, Perth, Isle of Man and Beverley, Yorkshire, Braewell Galleries represents a number of top quality artists, including Richard Whincop.
JUNE 21-JULY 30
Richard Whincop - Solo Exhibition
Richard Winchop has achieved high praise from collectors and fellow artists and this exhibition places him squarely in the spotlight. His paintings depict scenes from art galleries across Europe, looking at the interactions between people today and the art and architecture of the past and questioning the dividing line between art and reality.
These ambiguous images present us with surprising, touching, amusing contrasts, rendered with a rich yet subtle palette. This exhibition comprises over 30 paintings, many of which focus on Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Art Gallery.
Richard Whincop is an award-winning Glasgow-based artist. His work sold out at its first showing at the 2005 Glasgow Art Fair. Since then his stock has risen with a series of headline-grabbing shows in Glasgow, Dublin and London. He has sold hundreds of paintings over the years and has been the subject of substantial media coverage.
Richard’s work will also be seen on Glasgow’s main shopping streets as part of Glasgow City Council’s ‘Style Mile’ project, when artwork will be displayed in unused shop windows.
