[Decorative glazed panel depicting water lilies] [art original] /
Bryce, Gordon,1943-
[Scotland],
[1988?]
An art original.
Statement by the artist: The water lilies image came from a visit to the Island of Islay in 1985. I made a series of paintings and drawings of The Small Lochans situated in the east coast of this rather small flat island. The images are about water and reflections and formed a series of larger works. The translucency of water and light seemed appropriate for a window. The window image is carried out with transparent glazes of oil paint in order to enhance the feeling of light and colour.
One of a series of twelve decorative glazed panels which were previously arranged on levels 3 to 7 of the north facade of the National Library of Scotland's Causewayside Building. A group of Scottish artists were commissioned to create these panels which were then incorporated into the building which opened in 1988. The artists represented are Barbara Rae, Elizabeth Blackadder, Gordon Bryce, John Houston, William Littlejohn, Frances Walker, Glen Onwin, William Crosbie, Michael Docherty, Charles Pulsford, Ian McKenzie Smith and George Donald.
