About this listen

Bachelorette is typical of France-Lise McGurn’s intuitive way of making paintings. Populated with figures drawn from her imagination, she worked out the composition on the two panels as she went, using a process of layering, erasing and reworking. 

The work entered the National Galleries of Scotland collection in 2021, funded with a donation from Denise Coates CBE.

In this episode of New Arrivals, a series of podcasts introducing the artists behind some of the recent additions to the Scottish collection, McGurn and Curator Lucy Askew discuss the atmospheric, large-scale work which was completed in the artists's Glasgow studio during the first COVID-19 lockdown in 2020.
