RSW take five
18th May - 23rd June 2024
We are delighted to welcome five RSW accredited artists for a group exhibition, three of them new to Doubtfire. Each of the five artists will present five works following their own individual styles and using media of their choosing. Their take on the fantastical, the imaginative, the abstract, the interpretive and the impressionistic reflects the free flowing colour and innovative nature of the best of Scottish contemporary art. "After all the temporary influences that once directed the course of history have vanished, great art survives and continues to speak to each generation." Dave Brubeck.
