Lorraine Paterson, Sales and Marketing Director for Gladedale Capital, said: “We look forward to welcoming visitors to the exhibition, and we are very pleased to lend our support to these very talented young artists. The exhibition will add a further dimension to the triplex penthouse, which offers such a fantastic space in which to showcase this exciting artwork.”

The exhibition has been organised in conjunction with Business Art, a specialist consultancy which sources and manages artwork of corporate clients throughout the UK. Director of Business Art, Sarah Dallas, took forward the brief for the Quartermile Gallery:

“The brief was to create a vibrant and contemporary gallery space in the triplex apartment and to make it relevant to the Edinburgh art scene, so we selected work by some of the most exciting artists currently working in the city. We’re confident visitors will be as excited as we are by the combination of this stunning setting and outstanding art.”
