‘One to One’ is the gallery’s first opening. The exhibition brings together a range of artists who explore multiple meanings of “One to One”. Some work deals with the interpersonal, questioning relationships between private and public, while other works focus on scale. Many of the prints shown are a 1:1 ratio of their negatives. Similarly, other works are scale-specific to their mediums, such as the egg or the tile. Further relating to size, many pieces have traveled to us from Denmark as they can easily be wrapped and delivered through the letterbox.

Lucas Allan is an artist currently based in Glasgow. We exhibit these works to celebrate his photography practice independent of his paintings. These polaroid works explore the non-narrative and an ephemeral magic that can be captured through the lens.

Rebecca Lajboschitz is a textile artist based in Copenhagen. For this exhibition, we present one of Rebecca’s many ‘Egg Siblings’, a series of works hatched from an interest in an egg’s form and size.

Zakarias Gauguin is a Danish painter based in Hamburg. He often works from his bedroom, that evokes senses of comfort and stillness. His painting shown in the exhibition is about the tension between home and outside, comfort and the unknown.

‘Go big or go home’, gouache, candle wax, linen canvas, toothpicks and popsicle sticks, 55 x 105 mm

Embla Graham is an artist based in Glasgow. Her piece for ‘One to One’ is a portrait of a single herring, its dyed scales resembling the stormy seas it once called home.
