Artists of Scotland is the latest photographic portfolio from Glasgow-based documentary photographer Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert, in which he has visited and photographed over 115 artists in their studios in Scotland, all since November 2022.
Through the 40 portraits on show in this exhibition we meet household name artists such as Ken Currie, Alison Watt, and Peter Howson, Turner prize winners and nominees Christine Borland, Nathan Coley, Martin Boyce are shown, along with others beginning to establish their careers, Sekai Machache, Saoirse Amira Anis, and many, many more.
From Glasgow to Aberdeen, Perth to Orkney, we see inside the private studios and get glimpses into mindset of the artists who contribute to the cultural fabric of our nation. From purpose built studios, through spaces large and small, and into home studios and garages, we see the creative spaces from which the artists of our day produce their works that hang in galleries nationally and internationally.
The exhibition is kindly supported by Scottish Contemporary Art Network, Street Level Photoworks, Glasgow, and Greyfriars Art Store, Edinburgh.
Quotes
“At SCAN, we believe that artists are key to Scotland's wellbeing, and their voices are at the heart of the work that we do. We are delighted to be supporting this showcase of the individuals who make Scotland’s art scene so diverse and exciting, beautifully captured by Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert.” - Moira Jeffrey, Scottish Contemporary Art Network SCAN supports Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert’s Artists of Scotland exhibition.
“This project started out as a photographic portrait project, but what I never imagined was the over 100 great conversations I had with the artists, and coming away from the portrait shoots inspired by the people, their works and the conversations we had. To see so many people working hard on their creativity,
sometimes with no gallery or show to back them up, but still creating, was hugely inspiring.
I wanted to photograph 100 artists and so far I’ve done just over 100. But there are so many more artists out there, working hard. It’d be great to meet an photograph them all, but, there are so many I could go on forever!”
- Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert, photographer.
