There is such a wealth of talent in Scotland across all mediums of the visual arts

The Mayfair gallery, dubbed the “embassy for Scottish art in London” showcases the work of 40 selected Scottish artists and craftsman in its Made in Scotland exhibition next week.

For the first time the Fleming Collection is to focus on objects, from jewellery to tapestry, rather than conventional painting in a show that offers Scottish work priced from £45 to over £30,000 to London buyers.

The line-up includes the glass work of Alison Kinnard, the artist commissioned to create the new donor windows to be unveiled later this year at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, recognising major contributors to its £17 million revamp.

The jewellery of Dorothy Hogg, the first ever craft artist in residence at the Victoria and Albert Museum, is also featured.

Engraver Malcolm Appleby, whose 45-year career has included commissions for 10 Downing Street and Bute House, First Minister Alex Salmond’s official residence, is represented by an engraved standing cup, priced at £12,500 and one of the most important works in the show.

More modestly priced is Ruth Mae’s Vessel In Holly – Sea Shades, a bowl made of holly wood, on sale for £80. Also featured is the work of Edinburgh-based contemporary jeweller Grainne Morton, said to count comedienne Dawn French among her collectors.

The Fleming Collection is one of the richest private collections of Scottish art, with classic works dating from the highland clearances to the Colourists.

It was drawn from the collection of Flemings bank but is now run independently, and recently expanded its gallery space to cover three floors in the heart of London’s gallery district.

“It’s the first time we have had it so object-based, covering silver jewellery, ceramics, glass, copper, wood-turned items, engravings, tapestry, paper cutting,” said the gallery’s keeper of art, Selina Skipwith.

“The goal was to feature both artists at the top of their career, as well as recent graduates or even students.

“We don’t have any paintings, we have photography, with lots of wall based work but they are tapestry or prints or paper cutting.

“We call them objects from contemporary makers, rather than ‘craft’.

“It is part of our charitable remit promoting the best of Scottish art. There’s such a wealth of talent in Scotland across all mediums.”

The Scottish craft organisation, Craft Scotland, are helping promote the exhibition.
