FCB Cadell

On Thursday morning I had the absolute privilege of being invited to a private viewing & tour of the FCB Cadell exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art Two in Edinburgh, given by the Gallery's curator. I didn't know a huge amount about Cadell before I went to the exhibition, aside from the fact that he was one of the Scottish Colourists and had a bit of a penchant for still life... but I ended up leaving the gallery with a new-found love of Cadell, and a slightly softened attitude towards still life painting (I still resent SG art for ruining much of the joy that still life may have held for me by our constant instruction to produce carbon copies of Cézanne… grrr)

ANYWAY, here are some delightful Cadell paintings for you. 

 somewhat ironically I haven't actually shown any of Cadell's famed still life paintings. But go to the exhibition and see them for yourselves! It's really good, I promise. 

The Scottish Colourist Series: FCB Cadell runs until 18th March.

bleak but beautiful


Nathan Coley, There Will Be No Miracles Here.
Currently at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art.

this is my own (not-very-good-taken-on-an-iphone-picture) so here is a better one that I found on the almighty google that shows Coley's piece in a better light (literally? it is made of lightbulbs after all...)
