Invisible Lines, Immortal Beams (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781917627122)

This publication documents two years of work by Edinburgh-based painter Barry McGlashan, including the titular exhibition at Frestonian Gallery, London.

Invisible Lines, Immortal Beams, by Edinburgh-based artist Barry McGlashan (b. 1974, Aberdeen), documents the past two years of his practice, including the celebrated solo exhibition of the same name at Frestonian Gallery from the spring of 2025. Thresholds, metaphorical and literal, are an omnipresent motif in Barry McGlashan's evocative paintings. The featured works bring viewers to the edge of lakes, to rivers and roads, and lead to the foot of mountains. Other times the viewer is inside, looking out through windows to the landscape and sky beyond. Transcending time and geography, reality and folklore, McGlashan's dream-like and otherworldly paintings are as haunting as they are enchanting.

This publication also features works presented by the artist and gallery at Art SG in Singapore in early 2025, as well as documentation of The Distant Ideal, McGlashan's first presentation at Frestonian in March 2024.
