2010 EXHIBITION PROGRAMME

Johnny McGuinness
26th May - 5th July 2010


Johnny has travelled widely and, as is normal, has been influenced by many cultural ideas and customs. His interests are as diverse as Eastern mysticism and Native Art to Outside Art and Colour Theory.

His artistic career has taken him through figuration, sculpture, abstraction and now to still-life/landscape, it is like life itself forever changing.

Johnny's interest is primarily about colour and working within the still-life/landscape allows him the scope to discover and develop within these genres.

Kate Thomson Sculpture
24 June – 30 September 2010
Open Monday – Friday: 10am – 4pm
Saturday and Sunday: 10am – 12.30pm


House for an Art Lover is pleased to exhibit a selection of pieces from Kate Thomson. The exhibition will take place within our Mackintosh Suite of rooms.

Kate is a sculptor who was based in north Japan from 1991 until spring 2007. Since starting to work internationally 20 years ago her practice has consisted mostly of creating site-specific public sculpture in stone to commission. 

Sarah Mead
6th July 2010 – 23rd August 2010

 

Sara Mead lives and works in Birmingham painting prolifically in between caring for four children! She has been painting seriously since late 1999 largely as a result of encouragement and support by the renowned Scottish Watercolourist Tom Shanks.

Sara’s subject and approach is varied but her work has an underlying consistency in the use of fervent colour to reflect feelings and prompt emotion. Mixed media harbour scenes represent some of her favourite work, stemming from a childhood love of the coast – often depicted in a quirky or even an eccentric manner.

She has exhibited and sold works at a range of exhibitions including the Paisley Art Institute, Ayrshire Art Exhibition, Kilbarchan – Art off the Square, Accord Hospice Shows, and produced solo shows at Pollok House in 2004, and here at House for an Art Lover for the first time in 2005.
