The exhibition marks the artist’s most significant presentation in a UK institution to date, featuring paintings which spill from the canvas over the walls and floor alongside images and objects from McGurn’s studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe image shows a figure staring out from the page, a bare lightbulb hanging to the side. The print is reflective of motifs and images seen in McGurn’s exhibition, which sees a bare lightbulb hanging from the gallery ceiling and painted figures adorning canvases, furniture and the gallery walls. McGurn describes these figures as “part self-portrait, part observation, part memory”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis print has been created in DCA Print Studio using the traditional process of stone lithography, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewith McGurn drawing and painting directly onto the smoothed surface of a slab of limestone\u003c\/span\u003e. The unusual, pointed shape of the image comes from the stone having previously cracked in two – a unique outcome from this printmaking technique. With McGurn’s gestures and marks captured on the stone’s surface, the finished image was printed in a dark terracotta ink, mirroring the sepia paintings in \u003ci\u003eThe Charm Offensive\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"216\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 365px; height: 22px;\"\u003eYear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 365px; height: 22px;\"\u003e2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 365px; height: 22px;\"\u003eEdition of\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 365px; height: 22px;\"\u003e30\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 365px; height: 22px;\"\u003eMedia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 365px; height: 22px;\"\u003eOne colour stone lithograph on Hahnemühle Etching Natural 300gsm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.5px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 365px; height: 22.5px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 365px; height: 22.5px;\"\u003ePaper size: 48 x 56cm, print area: 22 x 30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 365px; height: 22px;\"\u003eSignature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 365px; height: 22px;\"\u003eSigned and numbered by artist\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout France-Lise McGurn\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;\"\u003eFrance-Lise McGurn was born 1983, in Glasgow.
