    Albert Irvin, Beacon II, 1994 Acrylic on canvas 186 x 160cm [detail] Albert Irvin Albert Irvin OBE RA was born in 1922 in London, where he continued to live and work throughout his life. In the early 1940’s Irvin attended Northampton School of Art. His studies were interrupted when he was called up, serving as a navigator in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. After the war ended he enrolled at Goldsmiths College in London to resume his studies. In 1962, he returned to Goldsmiths where he taught for twenty years. He also taught as visiting lecturer at art colleges throughout Britain. Irvin’s first solo exhibition was in 1960 at 57 Gallery, Edinburgh followed by New Art Centre in London in 1963 and 1965. He went on to exhibit extensively throughout Europe, the USA and Australia. A major retrospective of his work from 1960 to 1989 was held at the Serpentine Gallery, London in 1990. Irvin was awarded a Travel Award to America by the Arts Council in 1968 and later received an Arts Council Major Award In 1970 he moved into his Studio in Stepney Green and continued travelling to work there from his home at least 3 times a week into his 90s. He formed a working relationship with Advanced Graphics London in 1979, and began producing screenprints with them - the start of a very successful venture. 2 Irvin joined Gimpel Fils in 1982 they had regular, solo exhibitions of his work throughout his life. His works are held in many public collections including Tate, Royal Academy and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; The British Council; Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin; Manchester City Art Gallery; Leeds Art Gallery and The Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney.

  • Download Craft Scotland Celebrates... Wood PDF 6 Feb 2019
    MEDIA RELEASE: Craft Scotland and VAS showcase material mastery in wood by Scotland based makers Three of Scotland's most exciting artists present their work in the third Craft Scotland celebrates... exhibition as part of ALIGHT at Royal Scottish Academy In the third of a planned series celebrating craft mediums Craft Scotland is delighted once again to be partnering with Visual Arts Scotland (VAS) to celebrate contemporary woodworking through a presentation of multidisciplinary works from gifted Scotland based makers. This year Craft Scotland has chosen to explore wood through the diverse work of three makers: Charlotte Barker, Beth Legg and Naomi Mcintosh. Their work is presented alongside hirta, a modular structure that acts as a focus for discussion around materiality, design and making. Challenging the common perceptions of wood, this year the Craft Scotland celebrates... wood showcase highlights the versatility of wood as a craft material, and the diversity of applications it can be adapted to. Selected by the VAS committee and representatives of Craft Scotland, the three invited artists will form the starting point for a wider celebration of the diverse discipline of contemporary woodworking throughout the ALIGHT exhibition. A sense of movement is offered by Charlotte Barker, the wood’s natural texture contrasting with the controlled markings of her ceramic vessels. Beth Legg’s objects and jewellery are rooted in the poetic nature of metal, wood and stone and her fascination with hinterlands while Naomi Mcintosh’s designs explore volume, pattern and movement. Speaking ahead of the exhibition opening Craft Scotland Director Irene Kernan said: “Our media-specific showcases were born out of Craft Scotland and Visual Arts Scotland's mutual ambition to exhibit high-quality craft, alongside works of fine art, in a venue fitting of its stature.

  • Principal Job Pack
    The Leith School of Art 25 North Junction Street Edinburgh EH6 6HW Telephone: 0131 554 5761 Web: www.LeithSchoolofArt.co.uk Email: [email protected] Leith School of Art – appointment of Principal A welcome from the Chair of the Board of Directors Thank you for your interest in Leith School of Art and in our search for a new Principal. As you delve into the following pages I hope you will gain a sense of what makes Leith School of Art unique and this vacancy so special. Leith School of Art is held in great respect by artists far and wide and in genuine affection by all who are associated with it. Leith means a great deal in different ways to different people of course, but if two things stand out it is the excellence of the teaching and the sense of community and support that surrounds it. There are many who can describe the experience of studying at Leith as life-changing, whether as a springboard to an artistic career or privately as a way to find, or rediscover, fulfilment, self-connection and expression. Our means-tested Assisted Places and Community Classes open the door to many for whom the opportunity to learn about art and design would be beyond reach on cost grounds. With the forthcoming retirement of our current Principal, we are at a highly significant transition in the story of Leith School of Art, and this is a very exciting opportunity for an artist with a passion and vision for art education to play a leading role in shaping the next chapter.

  • Education Scotland Report June 2016
    Review of private Further Education colleges and English Language Schools Leith School of Art 1 June 2016 The review process This review report follows the quality framework for the review arrangements for private further education colleges and English language Schools in Scotland, April 2012. The review normally lasts for three days. Over the three-day period, the review team: engage with learners; observe episodes of learning and teaching and provide feedback to each member of teaching staff or other learning facilitator on strengths and areas for further development; conduct interviews and undertake other activity required to determine the extent of concordance between documentary evidence and practice; evaluate evidence against the 11 reference quality indicators; and identify key strengths and areas for further development for the organisation. Education Scotland is an approved educational oversight body authorised by the Home Office to inspect private further education colleges and English language Schools in Scotland. Reviews are arranged under three high-level questions which Education Scotland is adopting for evaluative purposes: How well are learners progressing and achieving relevant, high quality outcomes? How effective are the organisation’s learning and teaching processes? How effective are the organisation’s leadership and quality culture? Education Scotland reviews are designed to: support and promote quality enhancement in organisations to provide the best possible experience for the learner; provide information to the Home Office, when required, on the quality of organisations and the learning experience they provide; provide an independent evaluation to assist organisations in informing prospective and current learners of the quality of the organisation’s and services; evaluate organisations against the Education Scotland quality framework, March 2012; and complement organisation-led internal review and self-evaluation.

Entitled Wise Women, the series is presented on one flat plain in a story- telling sequence. Lynch depicts the faces of the women as they were presented in medieval imagery – serene, contemplative and undisturbed from their inner thoughts. Produced during lockdown, the works were made in the artist’s home with a kitchen table, clamp presses, pegs and a washing line substituting for studio facilities. Says Lynch: “In my thoughts were all the women who have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic.
