Indepth Arts News:
"Shift: New Works by Alison Watt"
2000-11-18 until 2001-01-07
Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art
Edinburgh, ,
UK United Kingdom
Alison Watt trained at Glasgow School of Art in the
1980's. She first came to public attention when, still a
student, she won a competition to paint a portrait of the
Queen Mother, and has subsequently become known for
her paintings of figures in light-filled interiors.
This
exhibition is devoted to a new series of paintings
depicting textiles. Unusually for Watt there are no
human figures in the works, although the manner in
which the depicted material folds and hangs suggests
the human form. As Watt explains, 'It's only in the last
few years I've realised the power of suggestion: that's
where the erotic lies'. The exhibition is accompanied by
a catalogue.
