Hi everyone and best wishes for the new year 2018!

My winter news update shows a busy start for 2018 with a variety of exhibitions. The news begins with a presentation which includes two versions of my steel panel portrait of Scottish poet Robert Burns: one which is a flat suspended steel panel and another which is convex and free-standing on a base.
The newsletter ends with another convex freestanding/suspended steel panel portrait – though of a completely different subject!!!

25 January – 10 March
Summerhall, Edinburgh, 11.00am – 6.00pm, free entry

‘Burns Unbroke‘ is a pilot for a contemporary multi-arts festival, exploring new interpretations of the life and work of Robert Burns, supported by Creative Scotland. It features the work of over 30 visual artists, across eleven galleries, an Alternative Burns night, a Flyting competition, a series of Whisky Masterclasses, music and children’s workshops.

This exhibition presents a broad spectrum of high-quality international contemporary art works: ‘CONTEMPO‘ features unique sculptures from Scottish sculptor DAVID BEGBIE, Italian artist RABARAMA and Dutch steel sculptor RONALD A. WESTERHUIS which interact dynamically with the expressive paintings from English painter NIGEL COX, Swiss artist FRANK FISCHER and German painter IGOR OLEINIKOV.
