Lucy Skaer
The Fruitmarket Gallery
17 May - 9 July
The first opportunity to see a major solo exhibition of work by Lucy Skaer, one of Scotland’s most promising young artists, whose large-scale drawings, sculpture and films are beginning to bring her international acclaim. This exhibition features work newly commissioned by The Fruitmarket Gallery, shown in the context of Skaer’s practice as it has developed since 2001.
Skaer makes drawings, sculptures and films, often combining them in installations of all three. Her work has its origin in found images – photographs from newspapers and books, pictures sourced from the internet, paintings and sculptures by other artists – which Skaer works and reworks, transforming them while retaining a sense of their original meaning and physical form.
