Issue 13

Issue 13 arrives almost three years to the day since our first issue. With a gently raised glass, four regular contributors survey our Scottish art world from typically different perspectives. Jane Adamson walks us around The McManus' A Weather Eye exhibition and gives outside visitors a little window into Scottish art; Robert De Mey explores Luffness Priory with artist, Rose Strang, along with the grandfather of the house, Richard Demarco; Douglas Erskine talks to young contemporary painter, Rachel Stanley, about forging a distinct visual language: while Roger Spence celebrates the life and work of one of Scotland's foremost printmakers, Robert Shaw.

The printmaker and painter has pictured human figures for over fifty years. Roger Spence meets him and explores his life's artistic work.

The young painter is out to create a distinctive language, treating the landscape with an abstract touch. She talks to Douglas Erskine about her progress to date.

Jane Adamson sends a letter to America, telling a story about Scottish art inspired by the McManus' exhibition A Weather Eye.

The landscape painter's new series of works celebrate a visit to an East Lothian Friary with a group which included Richard Demarco and Robert De Mey.
