Alexander Stoddart: Drawings and Models

23 May until 12 September , 2009

At The Hunterian Art Gallery, University of Glasgow, 82 Hillhead St, G12

A new exhibition opening at the Hunterian this year will feature the work of the Queen’s official sculptor in Scotland.

The exhibition, titled Alexander Stoddart: Drawings and Models, will be on show at the Hunterian Art Gallery, University of Glasgow, from 23 May until 12 September 2009. This will be the first gallery exhibition devoted to Stoddart's work.

Alexander Stoddart is one of Scotland’s most thoughtful, and at times controversial, sculptors. He was born in Edinburgh in 1959 and trained at the Glasgow School of Art. His heroic-scale statues and monuments enjoy a prominent public profile and many celebrate great Scottish minds and innovations, for example, his statues of David Hume and Adam Smith on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile.

He enjoys working in a variety of media, from watercolour to oils, although most of my work now features acrylic paint and mixed media. His passion for travel and adventure has given John a love of landscapes, and the world's ever changing and wildly varied surfaces are the focus of much of his work.
