Axolotl Gallery (Venue 209) present their debut Fringe show: Young Northern British Artists.
A vibrant exhibition of figurative and narrative art from emerging graduates from the four Scottish art schools and featuring new work by international artists and jewellers.
Owner Derek Butter has filtered the very best of the 2010 graduate degree shows emerging from the four major Scottish art schools: Edinburgh, Glasgow, Grays School of Art and Duncan of Jordanstone. If you missed the degree shows this is an ideal opportunity to appreciate the high calibre of work being produced in Scotland.
Many of the artists are as yet unknown, but have already been chosen for the prestigious Royal Scottish Academy’s New Contemporaries Scotland exhibition, Spring 2011.
Derek Butter said: 'In recent years there has been a large shift towards conceptual art, young artists working in other areas have been largely marginalised in their efforts to find a suitable platform for their work. We hope through Axolotl to help provide this.'
Also featuring a collection of unique jewellery by Jared Sanders, exploring themes of love, loss and memory. Taking inspiration from traditional talismanic imagery using eclectic symbolism to illustrate the duality of love.
Exhibition runs 6th – 30th August Daily 10am – 6pm and Sunday 12 – 5pm Free
