Alison Watt @ Parafin

An exhibition of new work by Alison Watt. The exhibition, A Kind of Longing, continues her engagement with the practice of the celebrated eighteenth-century Scottish portrait painter Allan Ramsay (1713-84).

Watt’s new paintings originate in the artist’s continuing fascination with Ramsay’s portraits and the drawings and sketchbooks from his extensive archive held by the National Galleries of Scotland, to which she was granted special access.  She is best known for her paintings of fabric and drapery,
