Ourselves and Others

Project Ability is opening its new gallery with Ourselves and Others - an exhibition which explores the human experience through the study of portraiture, relationships and social and domestic activities.

We invited artists working with Project Ability to submit work and in March 2009 works by David Bradley, Carole Lee, Sian Mather, Richard Wilson, Doreen Kay, Robert Cornish and Edward Henry were selected.

The inaugural exhibition will celebrate the creativity and diversity of the artists working at Project Ability.

The exhibition is composed of pieces made in a wide variety of media including a series of works on paper by artist Carole Lee. Carole creates intricate multi-layered pen drawings depicting heightened, often humorous tales of everyday life in Glasgow and works on canvas by David Bradley.

David draws inspiration from people he knows or sees, including recollections from his past and imagined figures.

David's paintings and sculptures depict a darker side of life where aggression, alcoholism and sexuality serve only as thin veils of vulnerability.

The exhibition runs from 10th September - 18th October 2009.
