An exhibition of paintings by the artist Kenneth Dingwall will be presented at the Pier Arts Centre later this month. The exhibition in Stromness will run from 12 May to 14 July 2012 in the Centre’s ‘project space’.

Members of the public are invited to join the artist at an informal viewing of the exhibition on Saturday 12 May 2012 at 3pm.

The exhibition is held in conjunction with two concurrent Dingwall exhibitions at the Cairn Gallery, Pittenweem and at St. Andrews University. An illustrated publication covering the work shown at all three venues has been published by the School of Art History at St Andrews University, with essays by three of their distinguished art historians, Natalie Adamson, Tom Normand and Alistair Rider.

Edinburgh-based Dingwall studied at the Edinburgh College of Art and taught there before moving to the United States, where he lived and worked for twenty years. He returned to Scotland to paint full-time in 2003.

Individual exhibitions include the Mayor Gallery London, Graeme Murray Gallery, Edinburgh, Talbot Rice Gallery, Edinburgh, Peter Noser Galerie, Zurich, Katherina Rich Perlow Gallery, New York, Knoedler, New York, Museum of Contemporary Art, Cleveland, USA, Castelluccio della Foce, Siena and in 1997 at the Pier Arts Centre.

Dingwall’s work is represented in many public collections including the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh, Saatchi Collection, London, Arts Council of Great Britain, Cleveland Museum of Art, USA, and The British Council.

The Pier Arts Centre is open Tuesday – Saturday 10.30am – 5.00pm. Admission is free.
