Current Exhibitions

Joan Eardley RSA

Joan Eardley is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential Scottish painters of her generation. Well known for her empathetic portraits of the street children in Glasgow, she also produced an extraordinary body of landscape paintings inspired by the fishing village of Catterline, on the north east coast of Scotland where she worked from the 1950s. It was there that her style developed dramatically, at the very edge of the sea, in all weathers, conveying the surging power of the ever-changing North Sea.
