Jerry Dowds & Redjade Yuan – ‘Circadian Symphony’
Opening reception: Thursday 30 May, 5-7pm
Exhibition: 31 May – 15 June
The Royal Glasgow Institute exists to promote contemporary art and one of the ways in which it does this is by awarding a Graduate prize at the Glasgow School of Art degree show. In 2012, the prize was awarded to two very different and distinct artists, Redjade Yuan and Jerry Dowds. As part of this award both artists will be exhibiting new works at the Institute’s Kelly Gallery.
Jerry is based in Glasgow and works with sculpture, painting, video and digital technology.
“My work reflects upon everyday objects and rituals, exploring the colour and mood of an instant. Paired down visuals which occupy the space between abstraction and representation. I use commonly found materials and report on our daily rituals, allowing us to acknowledge the overlooked and ruminate upon the ephemeral.” – Jerry Dowds
Yuan’s work explores psychogeographical symphony in everyday life.
Yuan’s works in multimedia including performance, video, installation, sculpture, photography, and print. She is from Beijing and has been living and studying in UK since 2009.

Born in Derry, N.Ireland and currently living in Scotland, John Deery has always had a passion for Art and takes it with him wherever he goes. 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. He currently paints, plays music and works as an art teacher in Glasgow.
