SPIRAL

by Ally Wallace

On display 4 Oct - 8 Nov 

"My exhibition at Beacon Arts Centre combines two strands of my work, one which involves exploring urban environments on foot - to make observational drawings of the architectural surroundings - and the other making sculptures in my studio, using colours and abstract forms relating to a Modernist aesthetic that influences the choice of subjects in my drawings.

The artwork on display is the outcome of a project that I began in 2024, involving day trips to Greenock to make ink drawing studies of architecture.  The project then developed further in my studio, with the production of a series of abstract wall sculptures which share the same pared down quality as the drawings."

Shining a light on art at the Beacon

At Beacon Arts Centre we host a constantly changing programme of inspiring and thought-provoking exhibitions in our light and airy upstairs gallery space. Guest Curator Fraser Taylor presents a year-round programme by local, national and international artists – some exclusive to the Beacon.

Fraser studied at Glasgow School of Art and the Royal College of Art. His internationally exhibited work includes large-scale sculptural installations, set design, print media, filmmaking and painting. From 2001 to 2017 he was a Visiting Artist and Adjunct Professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and in 2017 was awarded an Honorary Professorship from Glasgow School of Art.
