D'Arcy Thompson was Dundee's first Professor of Biology and his celebrated book On Growth and Form (1917) not only gave scientists a new way of understanding life, but has also been profoundly influential for artists, designers and architects. His surviving natural history collections, now displayed in the D'Arcy Thompson Zoology Museum, are also a great source of inspiration for artists. In these two exhibitions we showcase work by four artists who have drawn on D'Arcy's ideas and collections. In the Tower Foyer Gallery, painter Mark Wright draws on visual imagery sourced from organic structures and forms, exploring ideas of visual perception and concepts of beauty. The three artists showing in the Lamb Gallery work in various media but all of them use drawing as a starting point to help understand the natural world.
There will be several special events to tie into the exhibitions - watch this space for details.
