FAT GERBIL GALLERY PRESENTS: KYTHE

A group exhibition.

To kythe: an old Scots word, kin to “kith,” meaning to show, to reveal, to make known — to let what’s hidden come into view.

This September, nine artists take that word as provocation rather than title. Roddy Macneill, David Iain Brown, Kimberley Bright, Mark Purves, Liam Richardson, Tatjana Fraser, David Rae, Kidd Murray and Lorna Sinclair each bring a body of entirely new work, made specifically for this exhibition and shown for the first time. What’s on the walls is what’s newly surfaced: instinct made visible, private language turned outward.

Expect the show to resemble its makers as much as it reveals them.

Every piece has been made on matching art kits — oak frames and cotton canvas — supplied by Plan, giving nine very different practices a shared starting point from which to diverge.

Alongside the exhibition, handmade ceramics by Pascal Nichols will be available. His visceral, idiosyncratic work is process-driven and draws inspiration from historical artefacts, punk and folk art, bringing another tactile element to the space.

FAT GERBIL GALLERY Patriothall Gallery, Stockbridge, Edinburgh 26 – 30 September | 11am – 6pm | Free entry

Private View: Friday 25 September Drinks on us at the Private View.

Join our mailing list to receive your invitation to the Private View automatically. Everyone who signs up through the Fat Gerbil Gallery website will be invited to join us on Friday evening.

Kidd Murray, a visual artist from Glasgow, graduated from the Glasgow School of Art in 2017 with an Honours degree in Painting and Printmaking.

Their work explores the human experience, with each painting serving as a window into a journey of self-discovery and growth.

Through the transformative symbolism of butterflies and caterpillars, Murray challenges traditional notions of
beauty and questions the male gaze.

Hair features heavily in Murray’s latest painting series; a nod to the traditional work of the old masters. Hair is deeply tied to identity and femininity, and in this series it acts as a reminder of the inevitable simultaneous relationship between growth and letting go.

Murray’s anthropomorphic representations explore the delicate balance between vulnerability, strength, and masculine and feminine energies.

💖 HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY 💖

Last night I had the privilege of attending & exhibiting in a beautiful IWD Exhibition organised by @ajd.illustrates & @artbyannabee_ at Mono.

It was a wonderful night! So busy, so wholesome & there was lots of lovely spoken word poetry, a pop-up shop, a DJ & a clay workshop hosted by @kayleighscreatures - I was right in about that 10 mins in...naturally 😂

I'm so proud to take up a lil space here, alongside 22 incredibly talented female & non-gender conforming artists' work 🥹 The exhibition is on @monoglasgow until the 30th March!

It was so lovely to meet everyone & thanks for the kind words on the jacket!

Shout out to my gal @fionaakennedy_ for coming to support & snapping some pics at the end. I may or may not have tried the jacket on again after a couple of gins 👀

I've tried to tag everyone's work in the photos but please let me know if I've missed anyone!! 💖

**I should probably mention that this jacket is for sale! It is available to buy for £130 but AJ has been convincing me to keep it for myself. So yeah, if you'd like to purchase it after the exhibition finishes - let me know! I might need to challenge you to a duel or something for it x**
