Angus Hood
Following successful group exhibitions in Scotland and abroad, Angus and Chrisitne presented colourful new work for the gallery. The two Edinburgh based artists brought in an eclectic range of influences to their work, from Helmut Lang to Sonic Youth, from Truman Capote to Chinese Supermarkets, from Amelia Earhart to Ad Reinhardt. This exhibition was accompanied by a specially commissioned essay by Judith Findlay:
Angus is in Edinburgh suspending images of supermodels on the white walls of Inverleith House, as the leaves change colour and drift gently in the sunshine;
but Christine is in New York working for a trendy art magazine, and can't be there to hang her paintings of female aviators, film stars, flowers and ponies.
So Angus is hanging HER work as well. But will she like it?
This weekend the internet is coming to the rescue, because we will be transmitting video images of the exhibition to Christine in New York, so that she can see how her show looks, and CHANGE IT (if its really necessary). She will also be able to see their beautiful friends at the opening champagne reception on Saturday, find out what they are wearing, and receive greetings.
Isn't art AND technology wonderful these days? We think so.
Angus is influenced by The Beach Boys, Sonic Youth, Helmut Lang, Chinese Supermarkets and food preparation. Christine is influenced by Truman Capote's ‘Swans', Amelia Earhart, headscarves and heroines. Both graduated with Honours in Painting from Edinburgh College of Art and have exhibited widely during the last 8 years. But this is their first major exhibition in their native Scotland, and it takes place in the perfect setting.
At the perfect time.
We think Christine will like it, and won't want to change anything.
