Helen Flockhart CV
HELEN FLOCKHART Arusha Gallery | [email protected] | 0131 557 1412 BIOGRAPHY Following her attainment of a first-class undergraduate degree in painting at the Glasgow School of Art in 1984, Helen Flockhart took up postgraduate study with the British Council at the State Higher School of Fine Art in Poznan, Poland. Boasting an impressive resume of solo exhibitions, spanning both Scotland and England, as well as group shows in New York, Ontario, Rotterdam, London and Truro, Flockhart was recently awarded the Concept Fine Art Award (2016), the Royal Scottish Academy’s Maude Gemmel Hutchinson Prize (2012), and the Lyon and Turnbull Award presented by the Royal Glasgow Institute (2012). A fellow of the Glasgow Art Club (as of 1997), Flockhart’s works belong to such prestigious collections as the Fleming Collection, the Scottish Arts Council, Strathclyde University and the Lillie. Bill Hare, teaching fellow of Modern and Contemporary Scottish Art at the University of Edinburgh, praises her work. ‘Nobody paints like Helen Flockhart’, he writes: ‘here the mundane and the mythical are at one with each other’. Hers are works which break with established convention -- a blend of portrait and landscape, Flockhart’s paintings are verdant, fantastical paeans to that particularist genre of British myth making centered on pastures, mountains and divinity. Indeed, there is something Blakean about her work -- a warmth of vision borne of what appears simultaneous ancient and modern. EDUCATION 1985-1986 Studied painting at the State Higher School of

Detail of a carved relief from the temple of Bastet at Tell Basta, McLean Museum & Art Gallery, Greenock, Inverclyde Council © Museums Galleries Scotland Ancient Egyptian Collections in Scottish Museums Glasgow and Strathclyde Scottish Ancient Egyptian Collections Review East Ayrshire Leisure Contact Claire Gilmour [email protected] Bruce Morgan [email protected] Location of Collections In storage Primary contact location: The Dick Institute Elmbank Avenue Kilmarnock KA1 3BT Size of collections >45 objects Published Information Online collections: Selection available at www.futuremuseum.co.uk Online exhibition: The Journey Beyond, http://www.futuremuseum.co.uk/collections/features/online-exhibitions/the-journey- beyond.aspx Collection Highlights • Islamic foot rasp in the shape of a crocodile, previously labelled as a ‘lizard coffin’ (c. AD 1800–1900). • Two artworks by David Young Cameron (1865 –1945), a watercolour depicting the temple at Luxor and an etching showing the fort at the Moqattam Hills, Cairo. Collection Overview The collection cared for by East Ayrshire Leisure was initially formed in Kilmarnock as part of the Dick Institute, which opened in 1901 following the provision of funding by Kilmarnock- born industrialist James Dick (1823–1902). Part of the collection was formed in the following years. In 1909 a fire swept through the museum, damaging some objects and destroying others, while many of those that survived became disassociated from their object histories. The museum re-opened in 1911. The collection is built up primarily of material collected by visitors and tourists to Egypt, including amulets and metal figurines, faience shabtis and small Coptic objects. The collection also includes a number of modern shabtis and scarabs.
