We are delighted to announce Emily Powell’s Solo Exhibition at Morningside Gallery, following her painting residency on the Isle of Tiree. The exhibition will feature her celebrated large scale floral works, alongside evocative landscapes painted on Tiree, or as it is fondly known, The Land Below the Waves. Expressive and full of the freedom that comes with painting outdoors, Emily’s work reminds us of what a joy it is to be alive.

Kate Bentley’s ‘Kimono Journeys’ opens on Saturday 3rd of February 2024. This group of around twenty five paintings weaves together Kate’s interest in traditional kimonos as works of art in their own right and her love of the human form; it is a breathtaking body of work that conveys both the beauty and the drama of its subject matter.

An artist truly led by his subject, Jack’s style changes as he moves between studio flowers and silverware, lily ponds and the cafes and courtyards of Mediterranean Europe. In each of his paintings we witness the transformative quality of light – light’s ability to effect changes upon the reality before us –  a quality both quietly uplifting and timeless and one which Jack’s paintings communicate so beautifully.

This first full solo exhibition, entitled Come a Little Closer, is a celebration of the potentials of paint
itself and the transformative impact of colour. These are paintings full of joy and visual intrigue.
Harmonious layers of merging colour, abstraction, embellishments and mark making as well as an
enjoyment of contrasting surfaces and textures, all characterise the works in this collection.

An incredible Scottish figurative painter and sculptor, Walter Awlson exhibited regularly with Morningside Gallery from its beginnings in 2003, until he put down his brushes and tools in order to follow another of his passions – the theatre – and in particular stage set design and construction. After some years the urge to paint returned and this rare and exciting exhibition marks a return full circle for Walter, to painting and to exhibiting at Morningside Gallery.
