There will be no miracles here

I visited the Aberdeen Art Gallery today. There is a variety of art on display from the traditional to the modern. I liked the piece "There Will Be No Miracles Here" by Nathan Coley – born Glasgow 1967

In this piece Coley addresses the ongoing conflict betweeen religious and state authorities, the conflicting systems of personal, social, religious and political belief through which we structure our lives.

One of their exhibitions was The new Pre-Raphaelites by Sunil Gupta, which was very moving. http://www.aagm.co.uk/Exhibitions/Current/Sunil-Gupta.aspx

There was also an exhibition by the Aberdeen Artists Society. There was a wide range of styles and media but some amazing quality. http://www.aagm.co.uk/Exhibitions/Current/Aberdeen-Artists-Society.aspx
