CARN STANDING
ARTIST & SCULPTOR
Exhibiting at Cafe Connect
29th August to the 30th October 2013

Carn is an accomplished artist and sculptor based in Portsoy, Aberdeenshire.

Mainly self-taught, in the last 30 years he has created a substantial body of work ranging from life-sized sculptures cast in bronze and stone to designs and sculptures for film, television and major theme parks. His commissioned works are in private collections around the world.

His sculptures of animals, from Lions and Gorillas to Bull Mastiffs and Wolfhounds, capture the soul of the animal for which Carn is known. Some of these have been exhibited at international events such as the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and Crufts.

More recently Carn has turned his attention to creating work for public spaces. Many folk in Fraserburgh will have seen ‘Community Spirit’, the 6m long sculpture he created from steel, ceramic and acrylic glass that is suspended from the ceiling of the town’s new Community and Leisure Centre.

This exhibition of wildlife drawings in white pencil on black background is a rare opportunity to see some of Carn’s other work. The way he has depicted the animals coming out of the darkness gives the drawing an almost sculptural feel, as if you can reach in to it and maybe feel its essence.

In June 2013 Café Connect and Robertson Road Resource Centre were presented with the Eat Safe Award. The Eat Safe standard is awarded to businesses who have gone above and beyond the requirements of current food legislation to a standard of excellence.
