Summer Cocktail

Dylan Lisle, Knowledge

This charming, seasonal blend includes Union Gallery regulars Janet Melrose, John Carberry and Sally Johns mixed with works from newcomers James Newton Adams and Scott Drysdale.

JULY 1-AUGUST 2

Dylan Lisle & Patsy McArthur

Two of Scotland’s finest figurative artists, both graduates of Gray’s School of Art, demonstrate how they take widely different approaches to produce their individual interpretations of the human form.

Patsy McArthur creates evocative images with a psychological and emotional impact. Her images deal with figures in motion or transition and allude to movement through psychological states. Using repetition as a tool, with the same figure appearing more than once in an image, she removes the work from realism so that it becomes a site for multiple versions of self or transitional human states. The work is generally monochrome or very limited palette, which strips the image down without colour to seduce, thus focussing on content.

Patsy McArthur, Endless Possible Futures

Equally, this exhibition sees Dylan Lisle producing an outstanding body of work and the first substantial collection to be shown in Edinburgh since 2002. Fascinated by the technical aspects of painting and inspired by pioneering masters such as Caravaggio and Zurbaran, Dylan’s mastery of technique married to his contemporary vision creates work of beauty, serenity and mystery.
