Wimbledon gallery hosts exhibition of Scottish artists

7:00am Sunday 20th January 2013 in News By Lauren May, Chief Reporter

A selection of Scottish artists will be exhibiting their work at a gallery in Wimbledon.

The Stafford Gallery will be showcasing the work of 17 artists including Craigie Aitchison, John Kingsley, Jack Morrocco, James Orr, Jonathan Robertson, Andrew Squire, Alma Wolfson.

Ten artists will be exhibiting their work for the first time in London. 

All the painters and sculptors taking part in the exhibition created works in keeping with the tradition of Scottish painting made famous by the Scottish Colourists.

The Scottish Colourists were known for their highly developed use of colour in creating post-impressionist works which were first exhibited in the 1920s and 1930s.

Gallery director, Judy Stafford, began her business one year ago debuting with an exhibition of Scottish painters - a success she hopes to repeat this year.

The exhibition will open on January 27.
