They’ll Say They Didn’t Know

I can imagine how it feels
to cross a border for a better future and not do the paperwork
to get pregnant and not want to have a baby
to live in a body not carrying the right gender

I can imagine how it feels
to be vilified — to be hunted
to be afraid of every stranger
and some friends

But I'm a straight white man in America
I can't truly understand it in my gut
but I can sympathize

So why then can't I imagine
what caused so many of my fellows
to vote the way they did?

From Kilmorack Gallery…

“We have a date for your diary. The opening for our winter exhibition is on Saturday 23rd November, 2 - 5:30pm. This is always a nice event with mulled wine, fresh work and a celebration of the new season. Full details of artworks will be put online shortly.

Until then, we have hung an exhibition of Allan MacDonald's Icelandic painting, a place where the nature always surprises. We also have fresh work by illona Morrice and Alan Macdonald and a new 3D Tour.

We have also added an exciting new page - arrivals - to our website.

Please note that we are now on our Winter hours (Wednesday - Saturday 10am - 5:30pm)

ALLAN MACDONALD | Twelve New Paintings from Iceland

6th November - 21st November

MacDonald's latest twelve paintings are inspired by an expedition to Iceland in 2022, and they capture some of the unexpected wonders of a country famous for sagas, ice, volcanoes and epic waterfalls. These paintings let us see the land and the all-powerful forces that form it in new ways, and It has allowed MacDonald to find new ways to work with oil paints, a medium which he has made his own.

iLLONA MORRICE | self portrait and other heads

arrival | 22 October

illona Morrice takes inspiration from clay and the world around her. In these four works it comes from faces (including her own,) the sea, standing stones and a bowl of yellow-glazed lemons.

Alan Macdonald | Moonstruck

arrival | 11 November

Say ‘hello’ to six new portraits from Alan Macdonald, an artist whose skill and inquisitive mind allows humanity to rise from his Rembrandtian background – from an easily-led man, a doyenne, big mouth and more. If all the world's a stage, Macdonald is its painter.

Winter Exhibitions

preview | 23rd November, 2 - 5:30pm
