A Scottish Land: an exhibition by Nick Sargent

4 August – 7 October 2011

Nick Sargent’s new exhibition, entitled A Scottish Land, explores questions of attribution and the notion of originality. Comprising new and recent work, the focus of the exhibition will be a large-scale, painted and embroidered canvas entitled A Scottish Landscape.

This site specific piece was inspired by a sepia print generically catalogued as General Scottish View and a faded watercolour entitled A Scottish Landscape, Artist Unknown.

Nick Sargent’s work interrogates the often mutually exclusive relationship between fine art and craft and this new exhibition also explores the nature of the ‘picturesque’.

Mon–Fri, 9am–5.30pm
