Andrew Cranston: One day this will be a long time ago

A 104 page publication with 27 colour plates, following Cranston's solo exhibition, of the same name, at Karma in 2024. 

With One day this will be a long time ago, Andrew Cranston (b. 1969) continues his exploration of how the world of painting, like the world of memory, leaks into the real. In these portraits of the artist's home of Glasgow, figures and objects emerge, dissolve, reemerge, and deliquesce. For the artist, assemblage is less a formal approach than a conceptual one, as he allows elements from sources across disciplines and time to seep in and inform one another.

As he has written, Cranston is invested in "how much the surface, the marks, start to fight the image. The tension you see between picture and painting. Between what it is and how it is."

This volume features a previously unpublished text by Bernard MacLaverty.
