Personal transformation and mythical inspiration are the focus of mesmerising, large-scale portraits in this new exhibition. ICON ORACLE, a solo show by Kirsty Whiten, which explores the power of vulnerability through a stunning visual reinterpretation of initiation ceremonies.
An Edinburgh College of Art graduate and now based in Fife, Whiten (b.1977) excels at weaving human emotions in her hyperrealist paintings, which often trigger a deeply-layered response. These new portraits in this exhibition will comprise a group of six oil paintings (ICONS) and a set of eight smaller, intimate watercolours (ORACLES)
