William Dick: The Paperworks
Maclaurin Art Gallery
Sunday 8 July – Sunday 5 August 2018
Born in Glasgow, studied at GSA, Duncan of Jordanstone and St Martin's School of Art, William’s geometric abstract paintings are inspired by both ancient tribal symbols and a fascination with the geological transformation of the landscape. Each painting evolves out of itself, layer on layer, transforming and growing in its physical and illusionary historical depth.
