Pipe Dreams
Libby McColl and Kirsty Black - Two artists living the pipe dream.
While their approach to painting and subject matter is wildly different these friends have a similar outlook and passion for their work. Both artists bring a sense of fun to their paintings, transporting the viewer to another place, to other memories.
While Libby evokes a sense of nostalgia, finding beauty in the understated and overlooked, transforming the seemingly ordinary into intriguing snippets of real places ' many including literal pipes, Kirsty turns her and the viewers' attention inward and into the realms of imagination and dreams, conveying escapade and a joyful sense of escapism.
