Henry Coombes: Sorcha Dallas, Glasgow (08/2004)

Born in London in 1977 Coombes completed his BA at Glasgow School of Art in 2002. Since then, Coombes has had solo shows at Glasgow’s Transmission and Switchspace. Coombes emphasises the entrenched political, cultural and class connotations of the traditional media that he works in. Stiff pragmatic oil painting is harnessed to the exhausted mores of the tweeded aristocracy. For his exhibition at Sorcha Dallas Coombes will be exhibiting a series of new works on paper.
