Lil Neilson - Remembering a Catterline Artist
31 March - 14 April
The Eduardo Alessandro Studios featured exhibition for April is a retrospective exhibition looking back at the work of Kincardineshire based painter Lil Neilson who died 20 years ago at the age of 60.
Lil Neilson- Remembering a Catterline Artist, is an intimate collection of work brought together over many years by close friends of the artist, and being offered for sale for the first time.
Lil studied at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art from 1956-60, including a summer school at Hospitalfield House, Arbroath. She completed a post-diploma year tutored by Hugh Crawford and Alberto Morrocco in 1960-61 and was awarded a travelling scholarship to France and Italy in 1961-62, before being drawn to the coastal village of Catterline near Stonehaven through her association with Joan Eardley.
The exhibition features examples of her early Eardley influenced works through to the powerful introspective pieces produced in her final years.

In 2018, Andrew was extended a residency invite from arts centre and historic house, Hospitalfield, Arbroath, Scotland to create new music for their restored, 19th century, Erard Grecian harp. During Wasylyk's five-month sojourn he created melodies and progressions echoing the building's unique relationship with the looming North Sea horizon. Using not only the harp, but the house's original grand piano, Andrew explored the Angus landscape and beyond, gathering field recordings on trips to neighbouring Seaton Cliffs and Bell Rock Lighthouse (the world's oldest surviving sea-washed lighthouse). Winter slipped into spring, and harp-led compositions gave way to an ambitious third, full-length album, exploring a range of themes utilising a broad palette of instrumentation, including flugelhorn, euphonium, oboe, string trio, vintage synthesisers, drones and upright piano. From the wandering, Bob James-esque, Fender Rhodes and shimmering strings in the study of coastal light, (Welter) In The Haar, to the plaintive brass and farewell transmission blowing through, Adrift Below A Constellation, punctuated by the fragility of Wasylyk's sole lead vocal of this collection - The Paralian (a dweller by the sea), is a conclusion embued with blue and golden melodies that land in a territory akin to experimentalists such as Robert Wyatt and Brian Eno. Through which, Wasylyk weaves the listener along a Modern-classical, Ambient and Jazz dream of Scotland's east coast. Athens Of The North team were stunned by the luminous beauty and creativity at play in this work. Falling between genres and time, it stands next to 60s British Jazz, effortlessly blending notes of Library and soundtracks with dashes of British Folk.
