The Seed of its Opposite is an exhibition curated by Jai Llewellyn, which is running at the West End Campus building of Glasgow Kelvin College in Hotspur Street until November 11.
Consisting of 14 contemporary abstract painters living and working in Britain today, the group show is varied and ranges from emerging to well established artists, all of whom work within a two dimensional framework. Artists were selected and asked to provide a number of pieces for consideration, the final cut being made both to illustrate the broad diversity of practice and also to establish connections and networks of thought.
