Allusion VI
Allusion: an expression designed to call something to mind without mentioning it explicitly; an indirect or passing reference.
Allusion VI is a selection of work by 14 of the elected members of the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, whose vision could be considered part of the Narrative tradition.

In 2015 Alice McMurrough and Neil Macdonald curated an exhibition in the RGI Kelly Gallery. Their idea was to celebrate the work of elected RGIs whose vision could be considered part of the narrative tradition, and so the Allusion Group was formed.
The RGI’s strength is found in its quality and diversity. The aim of the group is to highlight a particular vision within the Institute that continues a long lineage within Scottish Narrative Painting while promoting and raising awareness of the RGI at home and beyond.
Since the inaugural exhibition in 2015, the group has welcomed several new members, adding further diversity and strength in painting and printmaking.
