James Lumsden: Chromatic Visions
20 – 31 August 2013
James Lumsden, Fugue (17), 2012
Specially commissioned for the festival, this exhibition presents Edinburgh based artist James Lumsden's highly personal, enigmatic abstract paintings. Process driven, each work reveals its own rhythms, movement and atmosphere, evoked by the play of light and colour through the depth of the painted surface.
Built from multiple layers of translucent glazes, each painting emerges by both chance and deliberation, the final piece revealing its own chromatic strata: "I aim to make paintings which are luminous, seductive, sensual and atmospheric. I am fascinated by how the raw materials innate to the medium can be turned into something poetic – an object filled with light, feeling and emotion."
Tues–Sat, 2–5pm
