Inspiration can be found in many places and the ways in which artists approach their art, from subject matter to technique, is influenced by their own source(s) of inspiration. The art in this exhibition explores some of the inspirations behind the artists’ work, displaying a spectrum of methods and media within the following broad categories: People and Places; Daily Life; Stories and Events; Scottish Land and Seascapes and Sense and Sensation….how will you be inspired?
This exhibition comprises a diverse range of paintings, prints, photographs, and sculpture by variety of artists, including some with North Lanarkshire connections, such as Dan Ferguson, and Una Shanks. Many of the artists have a UK or Scotland wide reputation, including George Wylie, Jessie King, and Hamish MacDonald.
