Menonday Art Vibe: Eclecticaaaa

As there is rather a lot to get through from this collection, I am showing three here, which had other angles taken and shown in my original post report. (You can still see the online catalogue from the link in that post, if it appeals.)

You can biggify if you wish... as Mac1 and I entered the exhibition, this was the very first thing that stopped us in our tracks. Back in that original post, you can see some more close-ups of the piece... right down to miniature rats! 

We explored this sculpture, which made excellent use of scrap materials, with complete rapture and admiration. This could be any street in any city or town in Scotland! There were so many little details that captivated and resonated with the truth of them. The pigeons mating on the roof, the 'scaffie' (garbage collector) working in the back alley, the kids hanging by the corner, the dropped cigarette butts, the rough sleeper, the closed shops... truly, this piece alone was worth making the trip into town! I could see my sister getting ideas and inspiration, and I was simply in awe.

Another piece that I found held me for some time was the collection of panels that I recall Sandra, the Mad Snapper, also found appealing, just from the photo in the previous post. Here is more about the artist and a better shot of two of the panels.

Thirdly, there was a glimpse of the whole sculpture in an earlier post, but it appears not to be with either of the 'culture crams'... sigh... if you recall seeing it (with Mac1 in the background), all good and well. If not, and you want to see the work as a whole, click through to Sally's Instagram of it.
