In our regular (Jo/(1mm. a team of mystery artists give their thoughts on the current art scene.
NO 94 Words: Artbug B
In Scotland on Sunday's Spectrum maga/rne on 27 Aprrl. there was an article about Scotland's most powerful men and women. It focused on the top 100 people who really have their hands on the levers of power and have the abrlrty to manoeuvre them.
Some of the names were very famrlrar and, some might say. best tor‘gotten. Sir Trrnothy Clrfford, drrector of the Natronal Galleries of Scotland for the last 1/ years came Ill at no 33. which rs probably for hrs abrlrty to use controversy to boost column Inches. At no 76. we had art rrnpresarro chhard Dtnnarco. another figure who pops up rn the press for all the wrong reasons.
A new entry at no 94. which took me by surprrse. was the artrst and skateboarder Toby Paterson. The Glasgow-born artrst rs best known for hrs archrtecti rrally -rnspired parntrngs and for wrnnrng the prestrgrous Beck's Futures award last year. At the age of 29. Paterson has burlt upon thrs and rs now rdentrlred as one of Scotland's new collectrve of artrsts exhrhrtrng to rnassrve acclaim. Well-known to Glasgow audrences. he currently has hrs first solo show at the CCA (see revrew).
Edinburgh artgoers may remember hrs wall painting rn the Scottish Society of Artists show at the Royal Scottish Academy rn 2000. This was a grand piece influenced by the architecture of post-war Brrtarn. In this case. rt was airports and was entrtled Departures. The work was crrsp and clean. creating interesting spaces and the rdea of Jerrrneys. but yet devoid of human presence.
I think it's great to see that someone so young can be getting the recognition for the positron that they command wrthin the art werld.
