A FEAST FOR THE EYES
2007

Ah, the joys of food and drink. For many hundreds of years artists have celebrated the pleasures of eating and drinking and this new exhibition continues that tradition. We have asked 13 artist from all over Scotland to come up with their interpretation of food and drink. Our main artist is Norman Kirkham, a Glasgow artists who has sent much of his life painting still lives and figure composition around the subject of food. The image at the front of our website is a perfect example of this combination of wonderfully skilful painting with a witty approach to his subjects. There are another eleven of Norman’s paintings in this exhibition.
Other artists approach the subject differently, Willie Rodger sees much humour in many of his small linocuts of people and their foibles. Jane Campbell obviously loves the colour and composition of large still lives consisting of cakes, sweeties, tea and food of all kinds. Jane Cruickshank, well known to our clients, likes to recreate the texture and detail of her subjects while Morag Muir’s paintings are more about colour and atmosphere. The title of this exhibition is “A Feast for the Eyes” and we believe that is exactly what you will have if you take a closer look inside...
