Lucie Rie & George Platt Lynes

In a blank white room, there is a thin, long white table, on which there are multiple pottery pieces placed. They range in sized and colours. Behind the table, there is a door, with photographs hung on either side of it.

Two framed monochromatic photographs are placed in the corner, where two walls connect.

Three ceramic bowls, all different shapes are placed on a plain surface.

A painted ceramic bowl, with gold, blue and black paint.

Kendall Koppe

Kendall Koppe presented the first exhibition in Scotland of British potter, Lucie Rie, alongside American photographer, George Platt Lynes. Using the loose theme of ‘Form’ as a conceptual concern, the two bodies of work came together as a celebration and investigation into the classical study. The two juxtaposing practices directly address form in an ultimately physical manner; Rie via the ceramic vessel and Lynes through the body. These underrepresented historic figures underpin many young artists’ practice without ever shifting to the forefront of a contemporary dialogue.

Exhibition curated by Kendall Koppe and Alistair Dearie.
