e-catalogueWINTER EXHIBITION ISSUE

The Scottish Society of Architect Artists was founded in 1987 by a group of archi-tects and students interested in the wider visual arts beyond architecture – draw-ing, painting, sculpture, photography, print-making and even experimental art. The Society is a registered charity, and while remaining entirely independent, it is an associated society of the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland.

Throughout history, architects were artists - and art-ists often became architects. Both recorded details of contemporary society and effectively were cura-tors of cultural history. Both disciplines traditionally share ambitions to create and communicate ideas. Both appreciate and in parallel have developed visual, mental and manual skills.

Such strong links between art and architecture have given rise to active groups of ‘architect artists’ throughout Europe. In 1935 “Ligne and Couleur” was established in France. This organisation grew out of an even earlier [1881] arts and crafts group who had exhibited under an ambiguous name ‘lov-ers of nature’. They produced regular exhibitions in Paris until 1914 when the first world war put an end to such activities.

Reconstituted as “ligne et couleur” they held their next exhibition in 1936 at the Galerie Charpentier in Paris. Again war disrupted their annual programme until 1946 when their ninth exhibition was held in Galerie Fontan, 137 Boulevard Saint Germain, Paris. This event reportedly marked a significant increase in enthusiasm, numbers and quality of ex-hibitors. In 1958 a sister society formed in Germany, and since then others have evolved in Hungary, Poland, Italy, and Romania.

In 1987 the newest group was established in Scot-land. Since then, The Scottish Society of Architect Artists, [SSAA], has successfully fulfilled its declared

aims and objectives: ” i) encourage architects to develop their skills in painting, sculpture, and related arts and crafts” and “ii) to provide opportunities to exhibit and sell their work.”

Each year the SSAA Call for Entries receives a positive response. More than 100 works including, seventeen from European societies were exhib-ited in June 2011 at the Maclaurin Gallery in Ayr. A healthy variety of subject matter included: portraits to landscapes; urban to rural; vernacular to modern; nautical to botanical; and perhaps less usual for architects, - still life and life drawings.

The SSAA has also created opportunies to discuss and develop artistic skills with regular “paint and Pint” days which have proved sociable, accessible and popular. A number of life classes have been organised in conjunction with the Leith School of Art.

SSAA has become a regular and valued participant in European Expositions in France, Italy, Germany and Poland. In return European Architects now regularly submit work to the SSAA annual exhibi-tions. This reciprocity between “Scotland in Europe”, widens our cultural horizons and exposes Scots architect artists to some quite playful and flamboy-ant influences.

Architects are sometimes accused of being reluc-tant to let their hair down, yet if art can bring a smile to our faces, it must surely be worthwhile?

Membership of the Society is open to archi-tects and students, and to persons involved in architectural practice in Scotland, past and present. A recent Rule change allows ex-patriots to become members of the Society.

Introduction by Ian Stuart Campbell, HonFRIAS

The well attended opening of SSAA Winter Show took place in Edinburgh on Tuesday evening, 22nd November 2011. Following two years of heavy snow in December it was agreed that the SSAA Winter Show should be extended into November this year. This re-quired an earlier Receiving Day and in consequence some exhibi-tors were unable to provide JPGs of their works in time for inclu-sion in this e-catalogue. As a result some works have been omitted and others photographed “in situ” giving, in some cases, unfortu-nate reflections from glass and slight distortion. The works fea-tured here are not comprehensive but the selection is intended to give a flavour of the variety of subjects and techniques on show. The exhibition will remain open until 21st December 2011.
