Spindly trees, luminescent skies, silhouettes, reflections and stars. This is the stuff of Victoria Crowe’s first series of new work at the Scottish Gallery following the major retrospective which was held in 2019 – the time before these times – over five months at Edinburgh’s City Art Centre. The works are deeply evocative, thickly wooded, intensely human yet only faintly suggesting a human presence, from the warmth of lights in a cottage window in the deep blues of a night-time forest to the sudden reflected self-portrait in a garden view through a window. Rather magically, too, next to these 12 works, hung sparsely in the gallery and accompanied by a display case of Crowe’s sketchbooks, are 12 evocative poems, each inspired by one of the paintings.

Ray Harryhausen - Titan of Cinema Ray Harryhausen was one of stop motion’s most influential special effects experts. He began making films in the 1950s and changed the face of modern movie making. This exhibition is the largest and widest-ranging of Harryhausen’s work – it even features newly restored and previously unseen material from his archive – and traces his career on films such as Jason and the Argonauts, the Sinbad films of the 1950s and 1970s, One Million Years B.C. and Mighty Joe Young.
