Solo exhibition: ‘Sea Wrack and Flotsam’, the Skylark, Portobello

Jude Nixon — Mon, 10 Feb 2020 16:55:05 +0000

I have a solo exhibition ‘Sea Wrack and Flotsam’ opening at the Skylark in Portobello on 29th Jan 2020. I will be showing new kelp inspired wall hangings. As with my earlier Sea Ware installation, in seeking to reflect the tension between fragility and strength the work is informed by the pivotal role of the kelping industry in the creation and exploitation of crofting communities in Scotland. The hangings have evolved over the last couple of years. In this new body of work I scorch and burn the rice paper in reference to the way in which kelp was collected and burnt to create alkali in the late 17th and early 18th Centuries.

The exhibition runs from 29th Jan – 1st March. Opening hours 10:00 am – 10:00pm.

I had very exciting news this week. I have just heard that I have been invited to join North Sea Thinkers Morimaru, an online platform bringing together artists, scientist and historians who live in countries flanking the North Sea. Morimaru, is the ancient Celtic name for the North Sea and all the participants in this project share a passion for this stunning ocean. The project is curated by Natalie Mcllroy a Scottish artist/curator based in The Hague, Netherlands. The work I plan on showing on the platform will include some of my Sea Ware Hangings and Watermark paintings

December News: Exhibition of New Seascape Paintings:

Jude Nixon — Fri, 06 Dec 2019 18:16:57 +0000

December News: Spoondrift: I am very pleased to be showing new seascape paintings at a forthcoming exhibition with Jacqui Higgs and Mary Walters. The title of the exhibition “Spoondrift” is drawn from an old Scots noun referring to the spray that is blown from the crest of the waves by wind. The work I am showing is based on a research trip to the Summer Isles I undertook in Oct. In the work I seek to celebrate the extraordinary beauty and wildness of the Coigach penisular located in the North West coast of Scotland.
