Edinburgh Festival 1994: Hot on a Scottish trail
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.NOW in his mid-fifties, the Scottish artist John McLean is increasingly recognised as one of the world's leading abstract painters. Most of the paintings in Recent Work 1989-1994, including Gully (1994, left), were done during a burst of activity lasting about 18 months. They form a group, but there are many variations of motif and mood. A characteristic is light generated by colour. In this way non-representational paintings can evoke hot and exotic Mediterranean lands. And yet they all have earthy Scottish titles . . . (Talbot Rice Gallery, 031-650 2211, Thurs-10 Sept.)
