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’.
