Have a look at these!
Paintings, engravings and prints by Aileen Grant and Rona MacLean are exhibiting at Bon Papillon on Howe Street for the rest of this month. We like them a lot.
Grant studied at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art but worked as a town planner before becoming a full-time artist last year. Her works have shown in the RSA Open, RSW Open, Scottish Drawing Competition and at the Inchmore Gallery. She has a studio in St Margaret's House on London Road.
Maclean also has a studio in St Margaret’s House, arriving there two years ago via a History degree at Edinburgh University and early retirement in 2007 from a career in teaching. A member of the Society of Scottish Artists, she has exhibited works in the RSA and the SSA and also has work on a permanent basis at Edinburgh Printmakers on Union Street.
The exhibition in Bon Papillon is called ‘No Woman is an Island’, partly in reference to their collaborative arrangements and shared time together at Leith School of Art in 2009.
Pictured above is Grant’s windy ‘Two Beaches, Seilebost: Harris 5’, and below MacLean’s wordy ‘Isle of Skye’: both wonderful.
