June through to July sees Edinburgh’s &Gallery hosting a number of exhibitions displaying the Gallery’s signature serenity, with a variety of artists working with different media and themes.

Anna Somerville‘s exhibition Resonance (7th June – 2nd July) builds on the themes of her 2022 exhibition Reminiscence, and deepens her exploration of memory, place, and the evocative capacities of paint. With a palette that instinctively echoes the shifting tones of the Scottish landscape, Anna works predominantly on wooden panel or linen, achieving ‘paintscapes’ that evoke atmospheric terrains and looming horizons.

The Gallery is welcoming Karen Stamper back for her first solo exhibition since she first introduced her work in response to the Gallery’s inaugural open call last year. Salvage (5th – 30th July) is her latest series of work: a bold and playful series of collage paintings that are rooted in the rugged aesthetics of urban boatyards, with their weather-worn detritus and towering structures, move beyond their original inspiration, drawing from the visual language of forgotten industrial spaces. Karen made on-site drawings and collected discarded materials to serve as the foundation for these small three-dimensional studies.

The Gallery Artists Group Show Fragments (5th – 30th July) brings together a series of small-scale collages by a selection of &Gallery artists, many of whom are working in collage for the first time, which affords them an informal and experimental departure from their usual practices, creating space for spontaneity, intuition, and material play, in a way that is peculiar to this particular medium.
