Free solo exhibition by Edinburgh artist Colin Maxwell Bryce of his digital prints, his first solo show since entering his ninth decade.
Colin Maxwell Bryce is showing at The Dundas Street Gallery from 25 to 30 October, with the exhibition titled As I See It. It's his first solo show since entering his ninth decade, and the work is an exploration of shape, colour, texture and abstraction.
Bryce is an Edinburgh artist and designer whose work draws on the creative and abstract potential of the everyday. He graduated from Edinburgh College of Art, is a Fellow of the Chartered Society of Designers and a Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society. He taught in Edinburgh before joining the Design Council Scotland, becoming Chief Executive in 1987, and was later appointed to Napier University in 1992 as Head of the Department of Design and eventually Dean of the Faculty of Arts & Social Science. Since leaving full-time employment, he's pursued his own interests in art and design.
In 2011, he began exploring the creative potential of computer-mediated photography through screen printing, etching and more recently digital printing. As I See It continues that line of work. The images carry no deliberate theme or story; they start as casual shots taken at home, in the garden or on holiday, before being altered in scale or colour. The resulting pieces move away from the original subjects and towards the abstract, focusing on how a familiar scene can be transformed into something quite different.
