Exhibition by Local Artists - Hillhead Library, Byres Road, G12

The aim of the exhibition is to showcase local artists' work whilst exploring the correlation between literature, photography, illustration and painting. There will be opportunities for people to meet the artists to discuss their work and to explore the process of how a piece of work develops from inspiration to completion - whether it is a book, a painting, an illustration or a photograph, and how many of the practices in one art form overlap with another.

Emily Chappell and her 'Shapeshifters' collection

Commencing Wednesday, 05 August 2009 until end of September

Join us for drinks, nibbles and good vibes this Wednesday (5th August) at 7pm as we exhibit the work of another local artist - Emily Chappell and her 'Shapeshifters' collection.

Emily's style is hand drawn and fluctuates between the dreamlike and sometimes nightmarish. It is highly expressive, and streaming with hyper-real colours. The ideas illustrated are intuitive and primitive in style, (almost like contemporary cave paintings), focusing on our human experiences, behaviours and feelings. There is also a love of pattern and expression over that of photographic realism.
