James Albon’s first solo show will bring together a selection of recent woodcut prints as well as a number of drawings and watercolours in a bold, new series of pictorial art works to stir the imagination.
The work is inspired by stories and literature, some of his own writing, some from others. It is filled with characters, figures, and scenes, researched and drawn from life and then translated, developed, and exaggerated until they take on a colourful world of their own.
James is from Aboyne and has recently graduated with a First from Edinburgh college of Art.

“I want to explore the boundary between the gallery and the book, between large prints and modest book covers, between framed work that we take a step back from to take in, and tiny, lucid illustrations which we pore over. To break the strange barrier between “proper” fine art and lowly illustration.”  James Albon

WJ Henderson started work as an apprentice draughtsman/engineer, age 14 in 1935, at Hall Russell Ship Building Yard Aberdeen and worked there in pivotal roles till he retired at 65.  He and his wife, Anne, devoted their lives to raising and supporting their four children, Brian, Anne, Gail and David and their subsequent families.
One of the special threads running strongly through the family, is an innate creativity that has manifested itself in their choice of studies, careers and personal pursuits in the visual arts.
This creative legacy is by no means unique to the Hendersons, but it has acted as a catalyst to hosting an exhibition which celebrates the result.

This opportunity serves to pull together a visual record of pieces created by our family, for some personal reasons, but mainly as a social insight into what links any family together through the generations.

Lisa O’Brien

Saturday 12th November 2011

Preview 6pm – 8pm

Lisa O’Brien lives and works in Wester Ross on the west coast of Scotland.

Two years ago Lisa had a residency at Left Bank and we are delighted to welcome her back.

Lisa has been developing her work at the Highland print studio in Inverness and has a particular interest in photogravure technique. This is where  a polymer plate  is coated with a light-sensitive gelatin tissue and is then  exposed to a film positive. This is made into a  high quality plate that can reproduce the detail and continuous tones of a photograph.

On show will be a collection of  atmospheric photogravure prints on BFK Rives Grey paper

and archival digital inkjet prints  on Somerset fine art paper.
