Painted conversations, exhibition 3: Esther Thorniley-Walker and Ellen Macdonald. [Exhibition]

Abstract

The "Painted Conversations" exhibition series is organised and facilitated by Lyndsey Gilmour and Peter Chalmers, whose collaborative partnership has formed through their roles as lecturers and early-career researchers in the Painting Department at Gray's School of Art, Robert Gordon University. For Gilmour and Chalmers, painting remains elusive; it offers continued moments of revelation and breakthrough, and they share a belief that painting can continue to offer valuable insight into our shared reality. "Painted Conversations" seeks to consider and test the potential of visual dialogues between practitioners in realising these breakthroughs in painting practice. In this third exhibition of the series, the work of Esther Thorniley-Walker and Ellen Macdonald is presented together for the first time. They have focused on a sharing of knowledge by participating in each other's research questions, to test how this can contribute to the advancement and discovery of both individual and shared solutions. The exhibition was displayed 17-22 February 2024 and accompanied by a talk held on the 27 February.
