אתר התערוכה

תצוגה מקדימה: נכתב לפני פתיחת התערוכה

A young cyclist looks past the camera, her face, helmet and jersey caked in mud. That is Jude Bytheway's Beth, After the Race, one of 187 works picked from nearly 2,500 entries to the Scottish Portrait Awards, which move into the Portrait for the first time.

Anyone over 16 who was born, lives or studies in Scotland could enter, so established artists hang beside people showing work in public for the first time. There are 64 fine art works, including sculpture, film and, new this year, animation, and 63 photographs whose sitters range from a newborn baby to a centenarian. If you live in Scotland and own a phone, you could have been in it too: the Scotland Now! category was free to enter, and its 60 picks play on a screen in the gallery.

Winners are announced in the opening week, and the two main winners each get a commission for the national collection. It runs from 28 November to 11 April 2027, daily 10am to 5pm.

לא לפספס

  • Beth, After the Race

    Jude Bytheway's black-and-white portrait of a cyclist straight off the course, mud spattered across her face, helmet and jersey, her eyes still fixed somewhere past the lens.

  • Portrait of Kriss Kyle

    In James Klinge's picture the BMX rider sits on a lilac bike against a pale, scuffed grey ground, tattooed arms on his knees, cap on, gold chain out.

  • The tuba under Blackpool Tower

    Look for Katy Bridgestock's Ademola Odedina, Spring Festival, Blackpool: a man in a white shirt blows into a silver tuba with the tower rising red behind him.

  • Henry Davis and Henry Davis II, Alabama

    Kieran Dodds photographs a bearded father carrying his small, red-haired son on his shoulders against a dark backdrop, the boy's hand resting on his father's head.

  • Grandon

    By Robyn Jenkins, 18 and one of the youngest artists shortlisted: a white-bearded man laughs open-mouthed in thick, bright daubs of paint against green.

עם ילדים

Entrants had to be over 16, so the youngest artists here are teenagers. A free drop-in family session, Shortlisted: YOU!, runs 15 to 19 February 2027, 2 to 4pm, and the gallery has a buggy park and baby changing.
