THIS IS THE FIRST NEW ART POST, THIS ONE WILL NOT DISAPPEAR ONCE MULTIPLY TURN THE LIGHTS OFF.
The
Nicole Porter gallery.
This
is exactly where I was, inside those purple doors sipping white wine at the
opening of her most recent exhibition when I decided there really was something
wrong with my eye and I needed to go home as soon as possible.
Nicole
Porter was born in Aberdeen, trained as an
Artist in Dundee and now runs the Nicole Porter gallery in Aberdeen.
The
exhibition I went to see was not an exhibition of her work but an exhibition of
other local artists. Her work was on
display at the back of the gallery and to say I was impressed is an
understatement.
