Project Ability

It’s in the detail brought together work by three artists based in different cities across England and Scotland who have much more in common than their medium: Nils McDiarmid from Edinburgh, Leslie Thomson from Manchester, and Robin Wise, who lives in Aberdeen.

All three predominantly make drawings, mostly using black ink on paper. They also share a love of intricate pattern and line in creating works that imbue recognisable images with new energy and life.
