Into the Light - Aberdeen Art Gallery

Members of Aberdeen Artists society respond to two works in the AAGM collection by sculptor Keith Rand RSA (1956-2013): 'Into the Light, Blue and Into the Light, Crimson'. The artists explore Rand’s techniques in wood, colour, and form, reflecting his sculptural philosophy and his time in the North East.

Rand worked as a technician at the Scottish Sculpture Workshop in Lumsden and taught sculpture at Gray’s School of Art. Working mainly in wood, he used native timbers which reflected his interest in environmental matters. Many of his works were sited in rural locations across the UK, including the work Segmented Sitka in the forest at Tyrebagger, Aberdeenshire.
