Introduction

Union Gallery are proud to be hosting an exhibition of such quality and variety: a powerful demonstration of abstract painting at its finest. We are champions of the time honoured traditions of fine painting which are exemplified by the work of this group of artists which includes established masters of the genre like John Mclean and Fred Pollock and newer, up and coming talents like Trevor Jones and recent graduate Zara Idelson. Mark of Beauty has taken over 12 months to organise and has been something of a labour of love for art historian and curator Bill Hare. The resulting exhibition is a tour de force of fine abstract painting. We look forward to seeing you at the UNIONgallery for the Mark of Beauty exhibition during the world famous Edinburgh Festival.
