The Exhibition Ongoing

The Place Amsterdam Art House, l9 Brandon Terrace

The Blurb Greg Holstead and Paul Frank have created a very different gallery influenced heavily by their background in architecture and industrial design.

Many of the exhibits are functional art and the beauty of it is that commissioned work can be tailored to your own specifications. On entering the gallery, you almost walk into a magnificent freestanding weather vane and your attention is drawn to an arresting oversized door-knocker both made in wrought iron by Ratho Byres Forge.

Try the pointed steel chair with the glass seat, appreciate the intricate designs of the mosaics and the woodcarvings on the walls, then walk under the painted "cloud" panels suspended from the ceiling. Check out the installation room - through an ingenious glass curtain into a darkened space, lit by a glowing light box. Sit on a Macintosh styled steel chair and study the glass wall with flickering light effects complete with martini glasses on top (sadly minus the booze!). Paintings by an international band of artists, well known and not so well known, are also on display. If you can't afford them, rent them! Worth a visit, as there are exhibits to suit most tastes.

The Time Tuesday to Sunday l2 noon - 6pm.
