It is exactly 5 years since the artist set foot in China for the first time, as recipient of a William Gillies Scholarship award from the Royal Scottish Academy. This exhibition brings together some of the work made over those years, including the controversial ‘Shared Vision’ ink painting series and a set of new mixed media prints inspired by walking the Great Wall.
In late September Kate Downie returns to China for further research but will return in time to present an ink painting Event & Workshop with artist Chi Zhang as well as the Autumn Lecture on November 11th
After December this exhibition will travel to Robert Gordon’s University in Aberdeen. For further information email art.collection@stir.ac.uk and for bookings click here
