“This August, we’re delighted to present Frontiers, a major exhibition considering the place of painting in contemporary Scottish art.
Co-curated by @robbiebushe RSA and Flora La Thangue, Frontiers will highlight the ways in which artists are pushing the boundaries of the medium of painting and reveal it to be a vital connection between the traditions of the past and ambitions for the future of the visual arts in Scotland.
The exhibition will explore why, in a world saturated with digital imagery, painting continues to flourish. Works by Royal Scottish Academicians will be placed alongside other established practitioners and emerging artists, posing the question: what place remains for painting? Are there new frontiers for painting in Scotland?”
Exhibitors:
Philip Braham RSA | John Brown | Robbie Bushe RSA | Michael Clarence | Francis Convery RSA | Andrew Cranston RSA (Elect) | Catherine Davison | Laura Drever | Jack Dunnett | Joe Fan RSA | Moyna Flannigan | Helen Flockhart RSA | Audrey Grant | Derrick Guild RSA | Kevin Harman | Joanna Holisz | Olivia Irvine | Paul Keir | Lizzie Lilley | Lynsey Mackenzie | Lily Macrae | Barry Mcglashan | Sin Park | Toby Paterson RSA (Elect) | Rowan Paton | Sharon Quigley | Finn Robinson | Catherine Ross | Elaine Speirs | Alasdair Wallace | Kirsty Whiten

Duncan MacMillan Review in Scotsman
“Paton’s paintings are really rather beautiful. Against a white ground, small pools of transparent paint are set off by lines and stripes and dots of brighter, more opaque colour. Fragments of mountains drift in to suggest the fragility of landscape and from one mountain top a word balloon cries “Help!”
