About
Through Line is the last in a series of four group exhibitions exploring contemporary art and craft practice in Scotland at the City Art Centre. The show features work by nine artists - David Connearn, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Andrew Lamb, Charles Poulsen, Frances Priest, Lara Scobie, Susan Mowatt, Rhona Taylor and Michael Walton.
Spanning an array of artistic mediums including ceramics, drawing, jewellery, painting, printmaking, poetry and textiles, the ‘through line’ or common visual thread of this show is the use and exploration of line in the artists’ diverse practices. The exhibition looks at the beauty and versatility of the line - from the simplicity of a single stroke to intricate linear patterns - and the impact it can have on our visual experiences.
