The Scottish Gallery

Duncan Shanks

3 August – 5 September 2012

Born in Airdrie in 1937 and trained at Glasgow School of Art, Duncan Shanks uses strong colour and richly applied paint to chart the changing seasons and the forces immanent in Nature. Always working directly from nature, his drawings are a spontaneous reaction to the constantly changing landscape around him. As a result the images he creates not only suggest space and atmosphere but also the passing of time.

Running alongside will be a centenary exhibition of Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, one of Scotland’s most significant modernist painters. To compliment this, there will be a selection of works on paper, objects and jewellery in an exhibition entitled Out of Abstraction.

Mon—Fri, 10—6pm

Sat, 10—4pm

Free admission
