La Vie en Rose, the first solo exhibition of contemporary Scottish artist Alison McWhirter, opens at Morningside Gallery, Edinburgh, on 28 February. Featuring 41 new paintings, the show blends still lifes of roses from McWhirter’s garden with bold abstract works exploring rhythm, memory, and emotion. Drawing inspiration from Édith Piaf’s iconic song and Shakespearean sonnets, the exhibition celebrates love and the enduring human desire to capture beauty and feeling through art. McWhirter’s richly textured, colour-drenched paintings can also be viewed online or as a virtual tour, making this vibrant celebration of the rose accessible to all.
