Edinburgh art gallery showing art good enough for a pope?
Urbane Art Gallery on Edinburgh’s Jeffrey Street is exhibiting work by international artist Marta Czok, who was once commissioned to paint a triptych for Pope John Paul II. Her paintings are part of the gallery’s winter exhibition called XmArt which starts on November 22nd.
Alongside Marta’s work will be Edinburgh artist Paul Charlton, who has regularly exhibited at the RSA, and new work from gallery regulars Rosie Playfair, Louise Giblin, Niki Hare, Corinna Wagner and Colin Brown will also be part of the exhibition.
Urbane Art Gallery Director Tracey Robertson said:
”We are really excited about this, our first winter exhibition, and we have some cracking art to show. Marta’s work is full of symbolism and wry humour and is utterly charming, Paul’s pieces are emotive and full of impact, and our other artists never fail to delight, having been selling well over the summer. We are hoping that the public will enjoy our diverse and eclectic mix of art. There are some amazing Christmas presents to be had…”
The winter show runs from 23rd November to 31st December with a private view on the evening of 21st November. Anyone who would like an invitation to the private view can contact the gallery on info@urbaneart.co.uk
