four new works 14 May - 1 Jun 2024 illona Morrice spent many years travelling before she settled in Morayshire.

BORROWED LAND exhibition
Reinventing Scottish Landscape 18 Nov 2023 - 2 Mar 2024 BORROWED LAND is an exhibition which celebrates the importance of land, sea and sky, and the artists who have made it their muse.

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.

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 -

JANE MACNEILL
The Silence of Mountains 15 Aug - 5 Sep 2020 These are the mountains of my childhood, the hills of home. They are ancient, weathered, and rounded by retreating ice; the colours they reflect are dictated by their geology, by the plants that manage to grow on them, by the quality of snow and ice, and by water. Although I have walked countless times amongst them, it is their distance that moves me. Read more -

A Journey in Colour 14 Mar - 18 Apr 2020 There is a joy in Ann Oram’s work. Not just from her obvious skills. Indeed, few artists in Britain are as technically masterful as Oram.

These... Read more -
ALAN MACDONALD
Journeys into the Unknown 28 Sep - 26 Oct 2019 It is common to see a huddle of admirers in front of an Alan Macdonald painting; the on-lookers savouring the painting’s almost theatrical performance. Our huddle tries, and ultimately fails, to de-riddle Macdonald’s painterly fable of the absurd. They are also mesmerised by Macdonald’s mastery of Dutch and Renaissance painting,... Read more -
ALLAN MACDONALD
transparency 24 Aug - 21 Sep 2019 In this wonderful new body of work Allan MacDonald furthers his exploration of untouched places and their closeness to an enduring and powerful presence.

MARK EDWARDS
16 Sep - 28 Oct 2017 Alluring and psychological, MARK EDWARDS’s paintings stay with you, or maybe they have always been there buried like deja vu.

Scottish artists inspired by the SEA
17 Sep - 29 Oct 2016 Scottish artists have always been drawn to the sea, pulled along by instinct, like salmon, to the coast. It was a powerful draw to twentieth century artists – Eardley, Houston and Bellany - and it is equally powerful now. Kilmorack Gallery’s exhibition ‘SEA’ looks at its influence on Scottish artists...

KIRSTIE COHEN
northern horizon 13 Aug - 10 Sep 2016 Kilmorack Gallery is delighted to present a major exhibition of KIRSTIE COHEN's work this August.

PETER DAVIS
Northern Light: recent paintings by PETER DAVIS 12 Aug - 12 Sep 2015 PETER DAVIS is one of the few Scottish artists to use watercolours.

In his hands a little pigment combined with water - so pure and simple - can capture the vast beauty of... Read more -
JAMES NEWTON ADAMS
The Unbearable Brightness of Being 12 Aug - 12 Sep 2015 JAMES NEWTON ADAMS is known for his playful work.

His paintings and sculpture... Read more -
EOGHAN BRIDGE
new work 19 Jun - 1 Aug 2015 EOGHAN BRIDGE’s sculpture has always been powerful.

The last two years have been spent in his studio;... Read more -
