Welcome

Welcome to Neo’s Gallery at Cafe Renroc.

We have a new art exhibition in the space, not to mention FOUR Free Fringe Festival shows (almost) every day throughout the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Here, then, is an update on what is happening here throughout August:

We are very much looking forward to the solo exhibition of printmaking, throughout August at Neo’s Gallery, by Rebecca Freeman: The Half-Remembered Memoirs of a Wayward Brother. This is all new work by Rebecca, who, as we write, is busy working on more plates, line etching and aquatinting. Here is a preview image from her exhibition (and you can find out more by visiting the ‘The Current Exhibition’ page.)

Meanwhile, many congratulations to the Edinburgh Digital Photography Meetup Group who sold 16 images from their June and July exhibition. Read more about this group on the ‘Previous Exhibitions’ page. Images, printed and mounted to order, are still available at £30 each, please contact us.

Here is an image, by Gunnella Thorgeirsdottir, from this exhibition:

About Neo’s Gallery

Neo’s Gallery was established in May 2004,  relocating to Café Renroc in Edinburgh in June 2010. The small gallery and cafe-bar are owned by Debbie Taylor, an artist and curator based in Edinburgh.

The gallery represents a small, but increasing group of postgraduate and professional artists and makers based in the UK,  especially those based in Cumbria and Scotland, including the Highlands and Islands.

The gallery exhibits a regularly changing programme of contemporary: Paintings, Drawings, Printmaking, Photography, Sculpture and Ceramics. The image below of a large Derek Eland painting, from an earlier exhibition,  is representative of the bold, contemporary work Neo’s exhibits.

Debbie Taylor also curates and hosts exhibitions in other spaces, such as temporary spaces, warehouses, bars, offices and private residencies.  This is especially the case for exhibitions which include large pieces.

The gallery is very far-removed from the ‘white cube’ of a more formal exhibition space. This presents any curator involved with real challenges: Not only to exhibit the right kind of work for the space, but to exhibit the work advantageously and innovatively, within the quirky surroundings of this cafe-bar.
