§ RACHEL MACLEAN (SCOTTISH 1987-) THE BAPTISM OF CLYDE - 2013 Archival pigmented digital print, 6/10, signed and numbered in pencil to margin, inscribed in pencil verso, published by Edinburgh Printmakers, with their blindstamp(the sheet 95.5cm x 61cm (37.5in x 24in), unframed)Footnote: Note: A rising star in Scottish Contemporary Art, Rachel Maclean studied at Edinburgh College of Art, where she first started to experiment with green-screen technology. Her work has evolved and expanded in scope but her underlying themes continue; the sourcing of imagery from fairy tales, cartoons and popular culture and using them to explore the darker, dystopian side of our contemporary culture. The work is seductive and unsettling, the saccharine sweet aesthetic initially masking the deeper, darker tone of her work. At her 2021 mini-retrospective at Jupiter Artland, her works were accompanied by a ‘Parental Warning,’ that although children may be enticed by the visuals, the themes of her videos as they unfolded would not necessarily be appropriate. In 2014 her work focussed on the interweaving of national history, identity and politics in the run up to the hotly contested and highly emotive Scottish Independence Referendum. Now based in Glasgow, Maclean has exhibited her work internationally, representing Scotland at the Venice Biennale in 2017 and most recently had a significant exhibition at Jupiter Artland, the privately-owned sculpture park outside Edinburgh, to celebrate the opening of her first permanent installation there.
