LEMON CLUSTER CHILL
16-31 January 2026
Claire Helen Ashley
An exhibition of painted inflatable sculptures with audio scape by Joshua Patterson
Opening Hours: Monday-Friday 10am-5pm, Saturday/Sunday 12pm-5pm
The exhibition presents a cluster of luminous, aerated, painted inflatable sculptures that evoke futuristic hybrid creatures. These forms have evolved to host tenacious plant life on their skins, in their folds, and pucker-like pockets. They thrive in the soft, all too brief, winter light of January in Glasgow. Please join us to experience the atmospheric conditions of LEMON CLUSTER CHILL on view 16-31 January, 2026.
Scottish born, Chicago-based artist Claire Helen Ashley mines the language of painterly abstraction, monumental sculpture, and slapstick humor to investigate inflatables as painting, sculpture, installation and performance costume. These works have been exhibited nationally and internationally in galleries, museums, site-specific installations, and performances events. Ashley teaches at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the United States. She lives in the cornfields of Illinois with her old husband, and a menagerie of pets. Her three offspring have flown the coop.
