FIND EACH OTHER

FIND EACH OTHER is a group exhibition curated by Sarah Kudirka, who has invited the artists Tilda Williams-Kelly, Ruby Pluhar and Gill Walton to contribute work to the show separately. These three women artists do not work together, nor even know each other. They will meet for the first time at the show.

The ethos of KUDIRKA (a non-profit artist-led space) is to lift others up, particularly Scotland-based women artists without gallery representation. This, the second annual midsummer show brings together three artists making diverse and striking pictures of people, by way of photographs, mixed media drawings and paintings.

The title of the show is drawn from the lyrics of the song ‘Sharkey’s Day’ by Laurie Anderson
“at the beginning of the movie,
they know they have to find each other
but they ride off in opposite directions”

Ruby Pluhar (Glasgow/London) is a photographer and director who brings intense creativity to picturing people in performance and couture, as shown in her recent freelance work with fashion houses Givenchy, Erdem, Dior, Alexander McQueen and with Scottish Ballet and Scottish Opera.

Gill Walton (Edinburgh) is a renowned figurative artist who takes drawing people in a radical new direction. She layers emotion and meaning into carefully crafted compositions. Not portraits, they reflect our own internal worlds and concerns for species vulnerable to climate change.

Tilda Williams-Kelly (Stirling) is a fresh talent in Scottish painting. A graduate of DCAD Dundee in 2021 she has already won many awards. A contemporary visual artist whose work centres study of the figure, light, colour and environment within a context of oil and mixed-media painting.
