Works by Jane Couroussopoulos in A Partial View

Jane Couroussopoulos studied painting, etching and engraving at City and Guilds of London Art School. She moved to Edinburgh 28 years ago and works as a painting tutor for the Leith School of Art and as a community education tutor for Edinburgh City Council. She travels widely as often as possible, particularly to Greece where her family are originally from, and it is from these journeys, both abroad and in Scotland, that she finds her subjects. Places are the subjects, but contrasts are the theme of Jane's work. Compositionally, the contrasts lie in the juxtaposition of busy and empty areas, and flat and textured surfaces. In terms of the narrative, they are found in the tension between organic and man-made structures, and in the representation of urban and rural spaces emptied of people.

Works by Kenneth Le Riche in A Partial View

Kenneth Le Riche studied at Edinburgh College of Art and New York Academy of Art. His work has always shown an interest in depicting the experience of making a drawing or a painting of a subject from observation. In a sense this becomes a representation of the relationship built up between the motif, the materials used and himself. More recently however, Kenneth has introduced a second strand to his work where socially constructed forms in imaginary spaces are used. He is interested in the Western artifice of perspective and describing space and the arbitrariness of symbols. Prizes include the Visual Art Scotland Arts Prize and the New York Academy of Art Fellowship.
