Amelia Barratt’s abstract paintings and Anna Paterson’s works on paper accentuate the minor politics of everyday life. Through the most minute of details, their observations connect us to each other. Held at Patricia Fleming Gallery, which occupies Glasgow’s former Sheriff Court, their two-person exhibition shines a light on the urban area of Laurieston.

A material engagement with the urban world is central to Barratt's practice. Her collage-like paintings juxtapose a diversity of marks, shapes, and lines corralled from everyday encounters. Anna’s works on paper involve folding, ripping, and puncturing, often exploring surfaces as sites of optical and emotional experience.

Based in Glasgow, Barratt studied at The Glasgow School of Art and Slade School of Art, London. Based in London, Paterson trained at Central Saint Martins and the Royal Academy Schools and was a guest student of Peter Doig at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.
