This exhibition is a collection of magic realism paintings, a culmination of several long-standing themes in Camille Archer’s artwork. The paintings follow in the traditions of Persian and Mughal miniature painting, using mixed media watercolour, ink and gouache.  Although the artworks are made using Persian miniature painting techniques, the imagery within the exhibition reflect a personal journey of exploring themes of relationship.

The work explores art as an avenue to wider perceptions and to relationship: how people relate to each other, animals, plants and Camille’s concepts of the invisible, spiritual world.

The artworks often depict animals that are symbolic of freedom, endurance and subtlety, accompanied by other paintings based on hidden geometries and symbolic of beings that are said to be beyond ordinary human perception.  This is Camille’s first solo exhibition.

Camille is giving an artist’s talk about her work on Saturday 14th December, 5-6pm. If you’d like to come along please book for free on eventbrite as space is limited.

Burntisland-based mixed media artist Jo Morton will be having her second event at Glisk with an Autumn Pop-Up, featuring original art works, cards and prints.

"The death of my father almost two years ago, brought a period of pause and reassessing in my studio practice and lead, ultimately, to a more pared down, expressive way of working. The exhibition is a record of that journey, from realistic work to my most recent series of paintings. These are an exploration of my connection to old family photos, in this case, the photos from my grandparent’s wedding day. The wedding party - the best man, flower girl etc are unknown to me, their identities lost to time. The work explores the desire to connect with the people from our past and the impossibility of doing that.”

Glisk studio artist Jane Francis will be taking over the exhibition space with her ink and watercolour ‘entities’ - works on paper on themes of neurodiversity and entanglement with the more-than-human world.
