For the latest podcast Ali spoke to artist, writer and broadcaster Lachlan Goudie about his forthcoming exhibition Once Upon A Time, which is at The Scottish Gallery in Edinburgh, Oct – Nov 2020.
Lachlan explains the thoughts behind the show, and why his original plans had to be scrapped. Once Upon A Time is partly inspired by reading fairy tales to his daughter, and he discusses the importance of the imagination (especially in periods of isolation) and the enduring influence of the supernatural in Scottish art.
The two also discuss Lachlan’s superb and comprehensive book The Story of Scottish Art which will have its launch at the Gallery on 16th November.
It’s an engaging and enlightening conversation with a man who is at the very centre of Scottish Art.
“Lachlan Goudie’s forthcoming exhibition at The Scottish Gallery presents a new collection of works, inspired by places that are, or at least may have recently felt far far away. The works bring fairy tales to life, with landscapes and still lifes that are designed to make you daydream.”
Here’s some examples of Lachlan’s work:
