Members of an Aberdeen art gallery that provides a showcase for established and up-and-coming artists will be exhibiting their work this weekend. They will be displaying a striking range of paintings, ceramics and sculpture at The Nicole Porter Gallery from today until February 27. Among those taking part are sculptor Linda Masson, from Newtonhill, and mature artist Helen Brown, of Aberdeen who will be exhibiting for the first time. The showcase for contemporary art was launched recently be award-winning Aberdeenshire artist Nicole Porter. She operates from a studio in the gallery at 88 King Street, Aberdeen, and holds life drawing and portrait classes there. Miss Porter, of Whitemyres Croft, Daviot, said: \u201cI renovated and opened up the old shop to create not just a studio for myself, but an opportunity for any artists to have their work on view. The public seem to love the informality of the set-up, and the chance to see an artist-in-residence in the middle of work.\u201d The 24-year-old former Ellon Academy pupil has been recognised as one of the most promising talents of her generation. She graduated with a first-class honours degree from Dundee\u2019s Duncan of Jordanstone Art School before studying with world-renowned painter Odd Nerdrum in Norway and later in Paris.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
