Lucy Gordon

29th August - 27th September

Working from her home studio, Lucy’s art uses a combination of found imagery and fabricated characters that swerve from the surreal to the sublime. Working primarily in oil paints, her subjects and compositions often contain elements of humour and symbolism, hinting at the artist’s own interests and passions.

In typical Wyllie style George didn’t call his making space his “studio” but plainly referred to it as “the basement”

Situated in the undercroft of the family home in Gourock and overflowed into the garden overlooking the Clyde Estuary, as does the Wyllieum.

We titled our community making space “The Upstairs Basement” in tribute.

As well as being a making space, the Upstairs Basement features a rolling exhibition programme.
