Fanny Arnesen “I will pull you out of the darkness”
Each artist in this exhibition pushes the boundaries of perception, inviting viewers to journey into the realms of the esoteric and the mundane, blending science and mythology to create thought-provoking works of art:
Fanny Arnesen’s evocative interpretation of forests and trees invites viewers to peer beyond the dense foliage into a tantalizing world of hidden wonders.
Sculptor Rachel Blackwell finds meaning in the transition between material states, reimagining ancient and mystical artifacts with a contemporary twist.
Kinga Elliott draws inspiration from the natural beauty of mathematics and physics, infusing her uniquely complex designs with vibrant energy.
Lizzie Lilley explores socially significant events through the slow abstraction of photographic images, distilling their essence while retaining their emotional impact.
Ruby Lord’s work inhabits the space between realities, offering viewers a glimpse into colorful distortions of the world as we know it.

Great art, as Graystone Gallery understands, exists at the intersection of reason and imagination. It is both a reflection of the artist’s perspective and a canvas for the viewer’s interpretation. This exhibition celebrates the diversity of Scottish art, showcasing the talents of both established natives and newcomers, each influenced by their environment and experiences.
Lesley Briggs, owner and director of Graystone Gallery, expresses her excitement about presenting ‘The Scottish New Wave’ and providing a platform for emerging artists to share their vision with the world. She believes that art should be accessible to all and aims to foster a welcoming environment where creativity flourishes.
