• Doug Cocker in Conversation

Join sculptor Doug Cocker on the opening day of his exhibition as he discusses this dynamic new body of work and the themes in his practice, past and present. 

Doug Cocker unveils a new exhibition at Dovecot Studios in collaboration with The Scottish Gallery. Renowned for his masterful use of wood, Cocker draws inspiration from the landscape and natural environment surrounding his converted mill studio in the heart of the Angus countryside. Marking his 80th year, the exhibition offers a rare and insightful exploration of the threads, themes and influences that have shaped his distinguished career. Known for his ability to harness the natural qualities of wood into compelling sculptural forms, Cocker’s work is testament to the power of shape, movement, and colour, often echoing music and the rhythms of the natural world in unexpected and thought-provoking ways. The installation exhibition, which is his most ambitious to date, is a celebration of a lifetime dedicated to sculptural practice.

Entry to The Scottish Colourists: Radical Perspectives is included in the ticket price.
