30 June - Royal Scottish Academy show

As Others See Us celebrates the long tradition of artist’s portraiture and continues with
the theme of Higland Culture in 2007.Twelve artists whose work has specific links with the
Highlands have been invited to create both a self portrait and a portrait of another artist.
They have been paired with an artist of interest to them or as suggested by the curator, thereby
creating both a literal and artistic dialogue. There will be at least 24 works from the 6 pairings
accompanied by a full colour catalogue with images, short artist’s bios and statements. As
this exhibition required many of the artists to explore outside of their usual working boundaries,
the essays reflect on how they responded to this challenge of being both the observer and the
observed. A recent addition to the RSA Programme, this exhibtion was curated by Gordon Brown in
partnership with Highland Council Exhibitions Unit and Highland 2007.

The artist pairings are:

John Byrne RSA – Steven Campbell,
Calum Colvin RSA – John Bellany HRSA
Alex Main – David Eustace
Allan Macdonald – Eugenie Vronskaya
Craig Mackay – Pat Semple
Gordon Robin Brown – Jennifer Houliston
