A couple of examples of my paintings alongside Archie McCall’s pots, exciting to see the visual connection between our work. Though we made the pieces separately, this was the result of almost a year of conversation about our practice and commonalities, and spending time exploring the elements and aesthetics of a local peat bog nature reserve in SW Scotland. The exhibition exnds today, but I will be showing some of this work at Spring Fling Open Studios at the end of May. https://www.spring-fling.co.uk/studio/cat-coulson-2/

Some photographs of a group exhibition I am part of called ‘Conversations with Clay’. Last June I was invited by ceramic artist Archie McCall to work together on a fantastic project culminating in an exhibition at Gracefield Arts Centre in Dumfries. The pieces are the result of almost a year of conversation about our practice and commonalities, and spending time exploring the elements and aesthetics of a local peat bog nature reserve in SW Scotland. It runs until 2nd May 2026. Some great work by the participating artists.

New town's artist upset after council loses his work in Glenrothes

David Harding said Fife Council had a "cavalier attitude" to his work from the 60's and 70s.

The Thinking Garden by Judi Milne @inkminxtattoos at St Nicolas Centre, The New Vestry, Back Wynd, Aberdeen, Scotland in September 2016 as part of @nuartaberdeen's Painted Doors Project in . Photos taken April 2025.
⠀⠀⠀
'It's called "The Thinking Garden" the idea being when you see it from a distance, it attracts you closer until you read the hidden message in the gate... "Blood sweat and tears really don't matter, just the things that we do in this garden" based on lyrics from "This Garden" by The Levellers, basically a simple mantra in life, to make sure your everyday efforts are not in vain, the Bee representing this perfectly.' @inkminxtattoos Sept 12, 2016

"Cauld blaws the wind frae east to west, The drift is driving sairly; Sae loud and shrill's I hear the blast I'm sure it's winter fairly." - Robert Burns This painting by Joseph Farquharson is called 'Cauld Blaws The Wind From East To West' in reference to the poem #BookWormSat #ScottishArt #poetry

A found page providing the floorplan for the original Transmission Gallery in Chisholm Street #Glasgow 40 years ago.

During 1986 the inner "exhibition area 2" (actually a walled-in cobbled lane) began to be used for performance, notably across a couple of days by Stuart Brisley, and then so did the basement.

On until the end of January, FRAGILE is the 2nd exhibition by Andrew Radford hung in the Custom Lane exhibition space in Leith.

Creating art from found materials, his work doesn’t shout at you about consumerism and waste but invites you through craft and delicacy and colour and texture, to quietly ask questions of yourself. Tiny acts of cutting and layering addressing a global storm. Heart lifting and beautiful, you should visit. #scottishart #contemporaryart

Visited Adam Geary's "Utopia" exhibition at #Dunfermline Carnegie Library Gallery yesterday.
Recalling his exhibition "The promise of tradition" at Transmission in Glasgow back in 1987, it is good to see a creator developing their project over the long term, especially outside the major cities.
Also good to see engagement by the young in Utopia given space in the far gallery.
