I Suppose in a Dream: Carole Gibbons and Luke Samuel: 23 April - 21 May 2022

The idea of recurrence in both Gibbons and Samuel’s practices goes beyond form and subject matter. Adriana Francisco explores this theme further, exploring time and memory in relation to both artists’ works, in the text I Suppose in a Dream (click here to read the full text), which accompanies the exhibition.

Carole Gibbons is a painter born (1935) in Glasgow, where she still lives and paints. She studied at Glasgow School of Art 1953-58, where her contemporaries Alan Fletcher, Douglas Abercrombie and Alasdair Gray had a profound influence on her career. 

She has had several retrospectives in Scotland and her work is held in many public collections including the National Galleries Scotland, Aberdeen Art Gallery and Glasgow Museums, yet she remains largely unknown outside of Glasgow. 

Luke Samuel, born 1992 in Cardiff, lives and works in London. Luke received his BA (Hons) Fine Art from Goldsmiths, University of London, and is currently enrolled at the Royal Academy Schools (2018 - 2022).
