CHRISTOPHER WOOD | new painting
Between Tides 11 Sep - 14 Oct 2023 Christopher Wood is one of the finest abstracted painters of the sea you can find anywhere. They are never a specific place, a view, because each painting is returned to and savoured so many times they become many places. Each time they are returned to, Wood enriches them; balancing their... Read more -

HELEN DENERLEY | Salvage
a solo exhibition of new work by Helen Denerley 5 - 31 Aug 2023 Salvage has come together with the sort of great leaps only an artist with a lifetime sculpting experience can conjure. It is in many ways Helen Denerley’s Everest, a peak, in her output and at a time when most see the fragility in the natural world around us. Read more -

PETER WHITE | new work
4 - 28 Jul 2023 There is a language which goes beyond words in Peter White's work. His boats, books, bowls and bottles capture both the tangibility and transience of life. Peter White’s work is always physical, touchable in the way rocks and moss are tactile and inviting, and at the same time his work... Read more -

Allan MacDonald | seven new paintings
Lick of Light and other paintings 9 Jun - 9 Jul 2023 There is something in Allan MacDonald’s paintings greater than even the hills, trees and light which he draws inspiration from. This latent power, and his energetic use of oils, makes MacDonald amongst the most powerful landscape painters around. Geographically, these seven paintings continue MacDonald’s exploration of the northwest: Cul Mor,... Read more -
COLIN BROWN
White Lily, Rose and Shiva 5 Jun - 5 Jul 2023 Colin Brown's latest paintings collage worlds together. The botanical works of eighteenth-century Belgian artist Pierre-Joseph Redouté, images scraped from walls in Berlin and present-day icons, merge in these popping Pop images. Brown’s latest three paintings, Felix Rose, Shiva and Sven Vath, are on a large scale which allows his work... Read more -

Down in the Tall Grass 5 Jun - 5 Jul 2023 Robert McAulay's latest paintings leave the city and head into the countryside, and I love the freshness of these twelve works. Reedbeds, fields, tall grass and the flat earth are tackled with a joy, and the eye of an artist in full flow. The largest of McAulay’s paintings, ‘Down in... Read more -
ADRIAN WISZNIEWSKI
Day Break, The Changeling and other works 29 May - 30 Jun 2023 Adrian Wiszniewski is one of the most active of the Glasgow Boys of the 1980s. His ambitious work creates dream-like images that take us through the looking glass and into a world that is just a rabbit hole away. These eight paintings reflect the scale of Wiszniewski’s ambition. ‘Day Break’... Read more -
BETH ROBERTSON FIDDES
six new paintings 29 May - 30 Jun 2023 Beth Robertson Fiddes’ landscapes are cinematic, in widescreen, and with a brilliant soundtrack. They take you to rarely seen moments and places in the sublime northwest of Scotland, places which Robertson Fiddes seeks out, and studies, while always experimenting with her incredible lexicon of techniques. The more you look at... Read more -

Kwikn 6 - 27 May 2023 Kwikn: to quicken, to come to life. 'Kwiknin o de tide:' the increasing of the sea-current with the changing of the phases of the moon.

LOTTE GLOB | Eriboll Creatures
a solo exhibition 18 Mar - 15 Apr 2023 'Eriboll Creatures' has been evolving for over twenty years. It is Lotte Glob’s first solo exhibition in Kilmorack, and it includes a large selection of etchings, drawings and paintings as well as over 100 ceramic sculptures. As an exhibition, it is a coherent whole, the secrete ecology of Loch Eriboll; and a lifetime’s ceramic knowledge is felt through the deceptive ease and fun of each sculpture. Glob’s deep understanding of place and both human and non-human culture adds to this exhibition’s power. It makes our world bigger. Read more -

PATRICIA PAOLOZZI CAIN
Entanglement 21 Jan - 28 Feb 2023 We are very pleased to have five fresh works by Patricia Paolozzi Cain.

Pinkie Maclure
Brigid in Dualchas 13 Jun 2022 The Gaelic word Dualchas refers to the intimate bonds that exist between the natural world, the land and its people, transmitted through the generations.

Journeys close to home | CHRISTINE WOODSIDE
An exhibition of new work by CHRISINE WOODSIDE 21 May - 11 Jun 2022 There is something wonderful about CHRISTINE WOODSIDE’s paintings: the weave of life that’s painted into them, the many years of knowledge that come to bare and the sense of joy. This is the largest exhibition of her work we have had since Kilmorack first exhibited Woodside’s work almost twenty years ago. This show is unusual. All fifteen paintings are inspired by walks around Woodside’s Fife home, rather than trips away, to Italy or India, and this makes them connected in a special way. We hope you enjoy them. Read more -
Colour Distilled | SHONA BARR
An exhibition of new work by Shona Barr 22 Apr - 14 May 2022 This is our largest ever exhibition of work by Shona Barr, with over thirty-five new works painted over the last two years. We have called it 'Colour Distilled' because Barr has painted nature and distilled it to a purity of colour. Uplifting, vibrant, brilliant: we hope you are able to make it.
A catalogue to celebrate this exhibition is available.

ALLAN MACDONALD | Algonquin
new paintings inspired by Canada 3 - 25 Sep 2021 Inspired by iconic artist Tom Thomson, Allan MacDonald returned from a visit to the lakes and rivers of Thomson’s Canada to Scotland in the fall of 2019. In his baggage were small carefully wrapped paintings in bright autumn colours. These have now been worked up into a major exhibition – ‘Algonquin’ - showing in Kilmorack Gallery in September this year. This new body of work brings Canada and Scotland together and remind us of the small moments that both artists, Thomson and MacDonald, stretch out to become rapturous and significant. Read more -
