Cathy Campbell Solo Exhibition:
1 March 2012 - 2 April 2012

Union Gallery is delighted to announce the first ever solo exhibition in Edinburgh for Glasgow-based artist Cathy Campbell.  A lecturer at Glasgow School of Art, Cathy Campbell has a well-earned reputation as one of Scotland’s finest still life painters, whose process often begins with the natural light in her studio. Her inspiration comes from light falling on the many objects that she has accumulated. She says: “I don’t think it’s a question of making a portrait of the objects or of telling a story. It’s about shapes, colour, darkness and light and their relationship to each other”. Cathy re-visits each work many times, resulting in very thick, textural surfaces and paintings of outstanding quality and beauty.
