More Than Just | 4 portrait artists

Portraiture is one of the oldest genres in art history, going back, at least, to ancient Egypt. Even in the period of the ubiquitous selfie, a painted portrait still has the capability to portray more than just the likeness of a person. It can used to show the power, importance, virtue, beauty, wealth, culture and even the psychology of a sitter often set within a wider cultural and social context. The genre is so much more than just painting pretty faces.
This exhibition brings together four Scottish portrait painters – Imogen Alabaster, Ross Miller, Graeme Wilcox and, new to the gallery, Drew Thomson.
