We are currently exhibiting works by James Cosgrove PAI (or Jimmy Cosgrove as he is more popularly known) as part of our four person exhibition of Ayrshire artists.
Sweet Dreams |
This work is fabulously original and exciting. Detail, tone, colour and energy all merging harmoniously to create dazzling works.
Passing Through |
Jimmy is a very well-respected Scottish artist and designer who taught at Glasgow School of Art before becoming Deputy Director. He retired from academic life in 1999.
From a High Window |
He is a now Director with the House for an Art Lover and has contributed to books on Art and Design, CR Mackintosh - and ART PARK Glasgow at Bellahouston Park, where he has a Sculpture fabricated in iron and steel titled; ‘Shipbuilding - Homage to Those Who Made the Clyde Great’.
The Magicians |
His recent work in painting, drawing and collage is derived from travel in general and people and places in the west of Scotland in particular - including Arran and Ayrshire.
He often collects written and graphic observations in the form of short narratives often painted on postcards usually completed on location and posted home.
Autumn Visitor |
His work hangs in several public collections including Kelvingrove Museum and Gallery; Scottish Arts Council; Glasgow School of Art; and Inverness Museum and Art Gallery.
We are delighted to be exhibiting an artist of this standing.
The exhibition continues until 28 October.
Thanks for reading!
Natalie
