Please join me on 18 June 2026 when I shall be ‘in conversation’ with Rhona Corbett, Head of Museums and Collections at Culture Perth and Kinross. Our topic of conversation will be ‘Revealing the Scottish Colourists’ in conjunction with an exhibition of their work at Perth Art Gallery.

The Scottish Colourists Revealed
I am delighted to be helping with the forthcoming exhibition The Scottish Colourists Revealed, which opens at Perth Art Gallery on 3 April 2026. It will consist of works by F. C. B. Cadell, J. D. Fergusson, G. L. Hunter and S. J. Peploe which are rarely seen in public. Lenders include AVIVA, the Hugo Burge Foundation, the National Trust for Scotland and the universities of Dundee and Edinburgh. Works from Culture Perth and Kinross’s collection, including Fergusson’s Before a Café, Paris will also be included.

In Conversation
Rhona and I will talk about the quartet’s work and legacy. We will also take the audience through the journey of putting on a loan exhibition, from idea to opening day. Why not make a trip to Perth to see the show and to attend the talk? I look forward to seeing you there as Rhona and I set about revealing the Scottish Colourists.
