10June - 10 July 2008 Following the major public retrospective held at the National Portrait Gallery of Scotland held in 2005 More Gordon reduced his commitment to portraiture. Travel to rendez-vous with sitters has been largely replaced by more fee-ranging international sorties, last year alone taking him three times to the Far East. Such experience has undoubtedly added a new dimension (plus new potential narrative threads) to some compositions, for instance Indiana, painted after his first visit to the Indian sub-continent. Chinamania brings together his long nurtured fondness for early Chinese blue and white, caught with a delicacy comparable to the skills exercised by the original ceramic artists he reveres, with robust imagery prompted by his personal encounters with the People’s Republic.
