During the summer we will be having an Open Exhibition providing the opportunity for anyone living in Inverclyde to have their artwork exhibited.' - Fraser Taylor, Guest Curator

"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."
