An independent Edinburgh art gallery has announced details of a new exhibition of work from highly collectable Edinburgh artist Brian Henderson, along with an auction of one of his paintings to raise funds for a local charity.
Eye-Line will be Brian’s third significant exhibition at Morningside Gallery, comprising over thirty new paintings, the largest collection of his work for many years.
Known for his hyper-realistic style, Brian’s paintings have a rare ability to leave viewers in awe of the skill involved yet also charmed and amused by his willingness to juxtapose everything from crystal to kitsch. One of the stand-out pieces in this collection sees comic book hero Tintin and his dog Snowy enjoying some of Scotland’s most loved paintings in the grand surroundings of the National Gallery.
Almost always painted at eye-level and from carefully set up and lit models and arrangements, Brian’s paintings juxtapose traditional still life subjects with popular culture - plastic Mickey Mouse models share the space with musical instruments, crystal and glass, as Brian explores the properties of light on each surface.
Following on from the gallery’s successful auction of two of his paintings for Jeeps For Peace two years ago, Henderson has painted another work, Blue and Yellow which will be auctioned online on 15 November. Jeeps for Peace is a local Edinburgh charity that delivers vehicles to Ukraine via convoy. They have driven over 350 vehicles already but as another winter approaches, more money needs to be raised for the next convoy of four-wheel drives which will be used to deliver critical supplies of food and medicines, evacuate civilians in danger and retrieve wounded soldiers from the front-line.
Based at Church Hill in Morningside, the gallery will display over 30 new paintings for the exhibition, which can also be viewed online and toured as a virtual exhibition for anyone who can’t make it to Edinburgh.
The exhibition will run in the gallery from Saturday 16th - 30th November, and is open to the public. There is an opportunity to meet the artist in the gallery on Saturday 16th November, from 2 - 4pm. The auction will take place online at 6.30pm on Friday 15th November. Details will be sent to subscribers to the gallery’s mailing list email and the full sale price will be donated to Jeeps for Peace.
