Jamie Fitzpatrick: Memorials to sausage politics

Memorials to Sausage Politics is a new exhibition by Jamie Fitzpatrick that looks closely at the monuments, statues and architectural decoration embedded in Edinburgh’s streets. A key part of the exhibition is a series of wall-based prints developed from Fitzpatrick’s research into the city’s statues and civic buildings. Using screenprinting, the artist draws on the material language of monuments while challenging their authority, creating figures that seem to shift between image and object and express the power and strangeness of monumental imagery. Sculptural works occupy the gallery alongside these prints, extending Fitzpatrick’s image-making process into the physical space. N.B. For those interested in buying art, the gallery also sells an extensive collection of original prints, many of them on Scottish themes.
