David's Bio-

On the 8th of March we’re excited to be opening a solo show from one of our Team Recoat members, Kirsty Whiten. She’s revisiting her Schemie Centaurs Imagery to create a new series of drawings, paintings, and paste-ups.
“West End Bestiary- Half-human beasts of legend, collected and dissected for your amazement.”
She’s reconstructing myth and imagining awe-inspiring creatures of old in a modern context; centaurs - half man, half horse, heroic and muscular, caught up in the trenches of WW1, or even the backstreets of Glasgow, where they sport baseball caps, down bottles of beer and flick the V's at us.
Kirsty has exhibited all over the world from London to New York and Melbourne. Her last show, Breeder Badlands, was at Stolespace in London and led to a series of lithographs co-published by Edinburgh Printmakers Workshop in 2012. Her warped imagery has been featured in magazines such as Juxtapoz and Hi Fructose and art blogs worldwide. Her massive paste ups were an important part of the Rough Cut Nation installation at the National Portrait Gallery and at their recent Freedom Versions in Stirling.
We'll be open 12-6pm Tues to Sun till the 7th April.

On 1st Feb 7-10pm we open our first show of 2013, “Wee” an exhibition from a member of Team Recoat, an exciting show from Scottish Illustrator, and Recoat regular/ hot fave, David Galletly.

David has exhibited in group and solo shows across the UK, internationally in cities like Philadelphia and Zurich aswell as at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. He has most recently been illustrating for Mary HK Choi's column in the US edition of WIRED magazine, creating graphic design at Fence Records, designing a limited edition Aberfeldy label for Dewars and creating an illustrated overview of Scotland for the social network, Kiltr.

“Wee” is a collection of his distinctive, often humorous pen and ink drawings, a series of mosaics and he’ll also be creating drawings on the walls of the space.

Galletly’s work toys with many mixed themes that are playful yet often have an underlying darkness. His drawings are pain-stakingly detailed with layers of pattern and texture created to confuse the eye as to the scale of the subject matter. This enjoyment in playing with size is the reason for the exhibition’s title.
