This summer Ingleby presents an exhibition of new work by Glasgow-based painter-storyteller Andrew Cranston.
Cranston’s paintings, often made on linen bound covers of old books, emerge gradually through the manipulation of his materials: layering, lacquering, bleaching, collaging and constantly re-working his way into images that seem to shift backwards and forwards in time.
These are narrative paintings, drawn from the artist’s memory and observations of life and liberally sprinkled with reference to cinema, literature, and art history. This exhibition presents a new sequence of large scale canvases, alongside the book cover paintings.
