The Crossing

Overview

We are delighted to announce a solo exhibition, The Crossing, by the acclaimed Scottish artist Ken Currie.

The Crossing transports viewers to an unknown archipelago, characterised by its desolate and barren islands and towering sea stacks. The landscapes, reminiscent of the westernmost islands of the Outer Hebrides, feature eroded rock towers that emerge from a deep, black sea, foaming and spraying at their bases. In this stark and unforgiving environment, an unidentified community endures a precarious existence without shelter. 

Ken Currie shared the following words about this new body of work from his studio journal:

People of the Sea. People on the Edge. People at Extremes. Contested Land. Crossing the Sea. Eviction. Evasion. Evacuation. Displacement. Dispossession. Destitution.
