*********************** Kate Downie, "Conversations with Joan" Thursday 23rd January 2025 at 11.00am at Glasgow Women’s Library, 23 Landressy Street, Glasgow G40 1BP The theme of this solo exhibition brings painter-printmaker Kate Downie into conversation with renowned Scottish painter Joan Eardley (1921 -63). Through a suite of new works, Downie creates new ways of seeing Eardley, acknowledging her as an important creative influence and retelling stories of care that carry over time. In her work, Downie has tackled similar themes to Eardley – the urban landscape, coastal terrain – and there is a sense of connection, an understanding in her artistic practice. Drawn to the possibilities left open by Eardley’s ‘Two Children’ (1962–63), found incomplete on the artist’s easel at her death, Downie has created two new paintings: one in which she ‘finished’ the painting in her own way, the other a new major banner painting ‘Dead or Alive’ co-created with local children, incorporating their marks with hers. It reflects her continuing interest in childhood sibling relationships and the role of children, their creative output and the impact upon both Joan Eardley’s art and her own. 1|Page Entry is free – meet at the entrance to the exhibition.
