THE City Art Centre is to present the work of Scottish artist Jock McFadyen in an exhibition across two floors.
From tomorrow, visitors to the Edinburgh centre will be able to take in the works of the Paisley-born painter in a major exhibition named Jock McFadyen Goes to the Pictures.
Timed to mark his 70th birthday, the display showcases new and existing paintings by McFadyen, paired alongside artworks specifically selected by the artist from the City Art Centre’s rich and varied collection.
On show are McFadyen’s urban and rural landscapes, as well as some of his figurative paintings, next to works from the City Art Centre’s collection of historic and contemporary Scottish art.
Over the last year McFadyen has regularly visited the picture stores to carefully select works for the show.
The exhibition is the first in a series of four shows celebrating the artist’s work.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
