PHILIP REEVES
Philip Reeves' printimaking displays a modern expressive abstraction, which is confidently conceived by experimentation with the process of intaglio printmaking. The godfather of Scottish printmaking, Philip Reeves was integral in establishing Scotland's vibrant printmaking scene, helping to found both Edinburgh and Glasgow Print Studios as well as the Glasgow School of Art printmaking department. Reeves was born and studied in Cheltenham then at the Royal College of Art in London. From 1954 the artist lectured at Glasgow School of Art before being appointed Head of Printmaking at the School in 1970. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and a Member of the Society of Scottish Artists.

ELIZABETH BLACKADDER
Blackadder's signature subjects include landscapes, cats, flowers, still-lifes and portraits. Her work is based in the traditions of the Edinburgh School but is strongly influenced by Japanese aesthetics. Characteristically, she carefully arranges objects in a shallow pictorial space to create intriguing and subtly decorative images.
