Featured Artist: Eduardo Ortun

Eduardo Ortun lives in Galicia where he started his activity as a water colour painter in the late 60s. His work has evolved over the last four decades into very colourful and absolutely personal imagined landscapes. Ortun is an established artist and his work can be found in private collections and museums around the world. We are delighted to be exhibiting his work in May 2011 in Letters from Iberia.

Featured Artist: Xico Lucena

Born on the 14th of October 1966 in Olsberg, Germany. Lucena is a sculptor with work in private collections around the globe. He has also produced a range of public monuments in Spain and Portugal.

Lucena began sculpting in 1983. He primarilly works in granite which he frequently combines with steel, wood and other materials. His work is striking and beautifully crafted and we are delighted to be showcasing his work in Letters from Iberia, 6 - 23 of May 2011 in Edinburgh.

Framed Sponsor Africa in Motion Exhibition

Framed are delighted to announce will be sponsoring the exhibition for the Africa in Motion film festival at the Edinburgh Film House on Lothian Road.

Edinburgh is a cultural centre of Europe with an international arts scene. Africa in Motion doesn't just add to this, it adds a unique element by showcasing a culture which is rich and colourful but often not well represented. The ethos of Africa in Motion very much reflects our own and we not only look forward to working together but also to seeing what gems they have in store for us this year.
