This major exhibition of new works by Brian Fojcik offers the first opportunity to see his brooding series of previously unseen large scale paintings, inspired by a recent visit to Poland where he spent several weeks travelling by bike through the remote countryside.
Born in Kirkcaldy, Fife, Brian Fojcik initially studied at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee, 1979-1984. He has won numerous awards including the John Milne Prize in Painting, and The Maude Gemmell Hutchison Prize (Royal Scottish Academy Exhibition Award 1992). His work is held in the collections of The Scottish Arts Council, The Fleming Collection, Kirkcaldy Art Gallery and in numerous private collections in the USA and Europe
Edward Gage - The Scotsman
“A perceptive observer, a sensitive and powerful draughtsman...With their echoes of Daumier or early Van Gogh, Fojciks observations go far beyond mere study of sporting life...”
W Gordon Smith - The Scotsman
“Fojcik is an outstanding draughtsman, mixing media to achieve drama
and tension in bold but fluent and vivid monochrome.”

A Sneaky Peek at Edwyn's Work
Here is a small snapshot of Edwyn's work. The exhibition 'The Possibilities Are Endless' will launch 108's new gallery space in July...
The Possibilities Are Endless
An exhibition of Paintings and Drawings
by Adrian Wiszniewski and Edwyn Collins
Edwyn Collins
As a young student at Glasgow School of Art in the late 1970’s Adrian Wiszniewski enjoyed the sound and look of a new group of young musicians practicing next door in his tenement flat.
The band, Orange Juice, was soon to enjoy great success as a major force in the post punk era with hits including ‘Rip It Up’. During the 1990’s their singer and songwriter Edwyn Collins continued to inspire with songs such as ‘Never Met A Girl Like You Before’.
In 2005 he suffered from two major brain hemorrhages leaving him partially paralyzed and only able to say his wife’s name, the words ‘yes’ and ‘no’ and ‘The Possibilities Are Endless’.
During the ensuing years he has incredibly managed to regain much of his lost facilities, through physiotherapy, re-learning to draw, writing, recording and performing his music; and the love and care of his wife Grace Maxwell.
His new album ‘Losing Sleep’ was reviewed in the NME as “… one of the best albums of the year”.
As well as his ability to continue to write and perform wonderful, inspiring new material, he has in recent years returned to his interest in drawing. 50 wildlife inspired art works will be shown at 108 this summer.
Adrian Wiszniewski
Adrian Wiszniewski originally studied architecture at GSA before transferring to the School of Drawing and Painting, quickly rising to prominence as one of the leading figures in the new wave of internationally acclaimed ‘Glasgow Boys’, including Steven Campbell, Stephen Conroy and Peter Howson.
Since the 1980’s he has constantly risen to the challenge of multi – faceted projects including writing, illustration, furniture and interior design, multimedia artwork and music. One of his most recent projects included working with the Scottish Philharmonic Orchestra in the production of a musical narrative of GBH (The Girl, The Boy and The Hag) a book written and illustrated by Wiszniewski as part of a trilogy of musical / theatrical events.
During the past twelve months he has concentrated on a return to making pictures, producing some of his most exciting work to date. A selection of his recent paintings will be shown at 108 this summer.
The development of contemporary music and art inevitably weaves and overlaps. This first exhibition at 108’s new galleries (Cold Bath Road) will provide the perfect way to launch the first of many experimental, collaborative music / art events which we hope to hold at 108 throughout the coming years.

Blast from the past
We're expanding to 16 Cold Bath Road where we will have a permanent home for the Joash Woodrow collection as well as many of our other favourite artists.
Check out these incredible photos we've pulled out the archives of Cold Bath Road. They are truly wonderful and give you a real feel for how things once were!
We especially love the top image with the mischievous boy throwing something on the right hand side of the photo!
