A unique collection of work from award winners at Robert Gordon University has gone on display in a new north-east exhibition.
The exhibition, called Kaleidoscope II, is being staged at Banff’s Duff House to showcase the very best in creative design and innovation from graduates of the university’s school of art and the Scott Sutherland School of Architecture and Built Environment.
Over 100 original creations, including textiles, drawings and sculptures have been installed at the Georgian estate house.
Graeme Curran, Duff House manager, said the work showcased a “truly unique body of work”.
He added: “Visitors to the house will have the chance to view a variety of quality work including contemporary jewellery, graphic illustrations, detailed architectural drawings, fashion garments and much more.
“The display highlights the creativity and talent held within this region.
“It’s very fitting that we welcome this exhibition in the Year of Innovation, Architecture and Design.”
The exhibition has been organised in partnership with Robert Gordon University Art and Heritage Collections and forms part of this year’s Look Again Festival – which showcases the best in visual art and design throughout the north east of Scotland.
Jane Kidd, curator of the Arts and Heritage Collection, said the university was “delighted” to be able to showcase the works.
She added: “Duff House provides a wonderfully striking backdrop for the exhibition and it’s wonderful to see the work in a completely new environment.”
Sally Reaper, director of the Look Again Visual Art and Design Festival said: “We are very proud the innovative Kaleidoscope ll exhibition is part of this year’s festival.
“This collection highlights the incredible young talent we have right here in the north east and promises to be a thought-provoking hit with everyone who visits Duff House.
“It represents the diverse programme of events and exhibitions lined up for the 2016 Look Again Festival, which showcase the very best artists and designers locally, nationally and internationally.”
Kaleidoscope II runs until Sunday, May 15, and entry to the event is included in the price of admission to Duff House.
