Art and Energy highlights the depth and diversity of Aberdeen Archives, Gallery & Museums' Collection of works on paper.
From pylons to wind turbines, we live in a world where we are never far away from the monumental infrastructure of the energy industry. This selection of drawings, prints and photographs from the collection explores how artists from the 1970s to the present day have chosen to creatively engage with these physical markers. Work by Sue Jane Taylor, George Mackie, Kate Steenhauer, Donald Addison, Tony Clayden and Fay Godwin will be shown alongside a new commission by Kate Downie RSA.
Art and Energy is the second in a series of annual displays highlighting the depth and diversity of Aberdeen Archives, Gallery & Museums’ collection of works on paper. This is a broad art term for any work using paper as its main surface, including drawings (pencil, charcoal, pastel), paintings (watercolour, gouache), prints (lithographs, etchings, digital), collages, and photographs. They can range from quick sketches to finished compositions.
