Two young Fife artists are hoping to launch their careers at an exhibition in Aberdeen.
Printmaker Alexander Storey-Gordon (21), of Newport, and sculptor Donald Watson (22), of Cupar, are presenting their final-year work at the Robert Gordon University Gray’s School of Art degree show.
Alexander was highly commended in the show’s BP fine art category for creating his own imaginary gallery with three invented artists, earning him a £250 cheque.
His gallery includes a video shown inside a tunnel which guests are invited to crawl through.
He said, “The artists I have invented represent different things.
“I suppose it is about me questioning my identity at the same time as having a lot of fun.
“I have completed a whole range of prints and hope that I will be able to impress the public.”
Alexander intends to go on to complete residencies and perhaps a masters degree.
Donald drew on his love of mountaineering for his final-year project. His large, ramped artwork involves visitors physically-crawling inside a room and along a stone path to appreciate it.
He hopes to share his sporting endeavours through his art and feels that sculpture should involve onlookers rather than simply be looked at.
He said, “There are moments when I’m enjoying the great outdoors that are really encapsulating and nerve testing and I hope that my sculpture will enable anyone to benefit from my experiences.
“I would like to adapt this for disabled users and I hope that the skills and knowledge I have gained from studying at Gray’s will allow me to continue as a sculptor.”
