Exhibition 2

This exhibition was open in fisher gallery 2 during the Festival - August 7-15 and the following week until Sunday 22 August.  Some of these works have now been transferred to the Fisher Studio & Gallery where the exhibition will continue until 19 September.

Now showing in Fisher Studio & Gallery is work by established contemporary artists such as   David Smith, a Glasgow artist known for his bold and loose interpretations of harbours and boats around the Scottish islands and mainland, immediately capturing the viewer's attention.  He is a prolific painter, mainly in watercolour or oils, exhibits widely throughout the UK, and this is his first showing with the Fisher Gallery.  Elaine Allison has made a series of 3-D works exploring memory, identity and place, using found objects, labels, photographs, drawings and her family tree.  Seemingly worthless objects are incorporated into works which bestow significance, and satisfying pleasure. Some are free-standing, some wall-mounted.  Elaine often works in collaboration with sculptor Patricia Bray on site-specific installations. This is her first showing with us.  Jack Cove is an artist whose landscapes and interiors appeal to lovers of traditional oil painting. He has an eye for essential detail as well as the "bigger picture", as seen in his painting of Buchanan Street from the Theatre.  He hails from the Scottish Borders, where among his many talents, he also teaches Tango dancing.  Jack has exhibited widely and has many admirers and collectors.  Alan Faulds, sculptor extraordinary, has created some free-standing pieces to amaze and amuse. He is well-known to his many collectors.        See Exhibition Page 1 for more exhibitors
