Painting our Mutual Friend
Exhibition Runs: Friday 5 June - Saturday 1 August
Preview: Thursday 4th June, 5-8pm
Glasgow Print Studio is delighted to present a two-person exhibition from Lorna Robertson and Andrew Cranston for Glasgow International 2026.
Painting, our mutual friend, brings together etching, monoprints, watercolours and oil paintings by artists and life partners Andrew Cranston and Lorna Robertson. The exhibition explores the tension and dialogue between printmaking and painting, reflecting the closeness and contrast within their creative practices.

Andrew works primarily in oil, building richly layered surfaces of varnish, paint, and distemper on canvas and found book covers. Lorna uses paint, drawing, and collage to create shimmering, layered works that explore the female form, colour, and narrative, evoking worlds that feel both familiar and other.

Developed through experimental residencies at Glasgow Print Studio from 2025 to 2026, the exhibition presents new print works alongside painting, considering how these practices intersect and respond to one another as a cohesive body of work.
