Clare Andrews solo exhibition opens this June

Edinburgh’s Urbane Art Gallery is hosting a solo show by Clare Andrews, the artist who splits her life between Rio de Janeiro and Edinburgh.

The exhibition, entitled ’Living In The Abstract’ will be a solo exhibition in Urbane Gallery’s solo room, and will run from 20th June to 12th July. A Private View is taking place in the gallery at 25 Jeffery Street, Edinburgh from 6-8pm on 19th June, and Clare Andrews will be in attendance.

Clare Andrews’ art has been described as ”openly engaged with the social and political realities of our time, especially where they impinge on the everyday lives of women, in work, health, housework, etc. Stylistically Andrews has favoured what might be described as a comedic realism, and she has a remarkable gift for naturalistic observation. Her work displays poetry and visual wit.”

Recently she was one of the invited artists to exhibit in the 189th Annual RSA Exhibition.

Tracey Robertson, Urbane Gallery Director said: ” We are excited to have Clare’s work here in Edinburgh, as much of her art has been shown in Brazil. Her paintings are thought-provoking pieces which arouse emotion and comment, and are sure to get our visitors talking.”

Anyone who wants an invitation to the private view should contact the gallery at info@urbaneart.co.uk.
