A new two-person exhibition titled "Painting, our mutual friend" will open at Glasgow Print Studio on June 4, 2026, as part of Glasgow International 2026. Featuring artists Lorna Robertson and Andrew Cranston, who are life partners, the show runs through August 1 and includes etchings, monoprints, watercolours, and oil paintings that explore their individual and shared experiences. The works were developed through experimental residencies at the studio between 2025 and 2026.
This exhibition matters because it highlights the creative dialogue between two established artists working across painting and printmaking, while also contributing to Glasgow International, a major citywide biennial that elevates Glasgow's status as a global art destination. The show's focus on the relationship between mediums and the artists' personal collaboration offers audiences an intimate look at how shared life and artistic practice intersect.
