"Shift: New Works by Alison Watt"
2000-11-18 until 2001-01-07
Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art

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.
