‘More Moons Than Suns’
Orla Kane
15th January - 2nd February 2025
Orla Kane (b.1999) is a Scottish artist based in Glasgow. She graduated from The Glasgow School of Art in 2021 before attending the Royal Drawing School’s Intensive Term in 2022. Recent solo show’s include Star Face, Boardroom Committee Room, Glasgow (2023) and Daisy Chains, Stallan-Brand, Glasgow (2022) as well as being selected for 130 Years of Scottish Society of Artist’s Annual Show at the Royal Scottish Academy, 2022-23. Orla Kane’s first solo show ‘Fields Adrift’ was at Blue Shop Gallery in January 2024. ‘More Moons Than Suns’ is Orla Kane’s second solo show at Blue Shop Gallery.
Orla’s recent drawings and paintings lend themselves to this idea of being unfolded. Ideas crumpled in pockets and found months after, remnants of the everyday rediscovered in new states of minds. Oil paintings reworked over several years distil her layered approach to making, cutting into layers of paint to build them back up again in bright glazes. The sometimes skewed boards she paints on mimic the way she hand tears paper for her drawing practice, these forms lend themselves to presenting as windows into fast moving, changing landscapes.
