The Black Isle Collective
Compass Gallery exhibits and promotes artists from all across Scotland, many of whom have few opportunities to exhibit in the main city centre galleries. We are pleased to introduce our audiences to the works of this group of artists based in the Black Isle.
鈥淭he Black Isle Collective are a group of six visual artists from the Black Isle in the Highlands of Scotland, brought together by shared inspirations. Their intention in exhibiting as a collective is to provide an opportunity to create work that spurs a dialogue between artists and viewers, around themes such as place, ecology, and identity.
This exhibition鈥檚 title, Deasoil, is taken from Amanda Thomson鈥檚 鈥楢 Scots Dictionary of Nature鈥. It means 鈥榳alking with the sun from east to west鈥. Through Painting, Drawing, Poetry, and Sculpture each artist takes us on a journey, to explore what it is to inhabit their physical and imagined space, alone and together鈥.
