Ingleby Gallery — Attraction in City of Edinburgh

I found myself in Waverley Train Station, and after being attacked by various luggage on wheels I made a hasty retreat through the rear platform lift, which brings you out on to Calton Road, where I found the Ingleby Gallery, I popped in to have a moment of calm and i enjoyed the space clean white walls with warm solid wood floors and stairs gently guide you through the galleries, the peace and quiet in the building was never interrupted and within minutes I was calm again,the current exhibitions feature Hawick born artist, Andrew Cranston. Paintings from a room: 6 February 2016 - 26 March 2016 has an autobiographical feel, infused with humor, anecdotes and life observations his use of colour layering and varnishing provides an intense viewing experience which was as beguiling as it was familiar to me for some reason.

Upstairs: Jonny Lyons: Dream Easy

6 February 2016 - 26 March 2016

Lyons’s practice explores the fragility of friendship and adventure through performances documented by photography and film. He creates ingenious and mischievous devices which are presented – having fulfilled their one purpose – as relics of the event, together with the photographic evidence. The photographs, however, are not simply documentation of a sequence of anarchic events. They fix the moment between ’cause’ and ‘effect’ and are imbued with wit, melancholy and the physical humour of early silent cinema. In this process Lyons attempts to reconcile the enthusiasm of reckless youth with the pressures of adulthood; these are snap-shots of ‘Lost Boys’ putting outlandish ideas into practice and (just) getting away with it. Lyons was born in 1988 and since his graduation from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in 2013 he has received several residencies and awards. He lives and works in Glasgow.
