Exclusive to Paisley Museum and its Scottish premiere, Dougie Wallace’s latest body of work, Harrodsburg, continues to push the boundaries of the social documentary genre, turning his attention to the consequences of the rising economic and political power of the ‘one percent’
Dougie Wallace spent 4 years photographing the now defunct black and yellow Premier Padmini cabs of Bombay falling for their garish, psychedelic interiors and the elusive charisma of the drivers. Between the golden hours of 4-6pm Wallace could been seen on the streets of Bombay loitering with intent at busy junctions or at traffic lights ready to ambush. Road Wallah demonstrates Dougie Wallace’s tremendous technical ability, his use of colour, composition and humour, to produce photographs of depth and beauty.
Peripheral Histories features work by Calum Douglas, Alan Knox, Kotryna Ula Kiliulyte and Sarah Amy Fishlock. Each photographer has a distinct body of work but shares thematic, aesthetic and conceptual overlaps.
