Curated by Edinburgh artists David Grossart and Carol Marples, this exhibition draws on specially selected works from artists across Scotland. The works use some of the boundaries of traditional Christian artefacts — church doorways, altarpiece frames, cloisters, prayerbook bindings — as a frame of reference within which to present freshly resonating figurative and abstract visual images. Some works are available for sale. The exhibition is held at The Undercroft of St Vincent's Chapel and is free to attend, suitable for audiences aged 5 and over. Note: the Undercroft is accessed by outside steps.
Why see this show?
A thoughtfully curated visual art exhibition that uses the language of sacred architecture — doorways, frames, cloisters — as a creative prompt for contemporary Scottish artists. Free to attend and ideal for those who enjoy quiet, contemplative visual art.
