Well known as a rising star in her native Scotland, Kirsty Whiten has exhibited internationally and been involved with numerous projects over the last 9 years. Her distinctive drawings and paintings have earned a year’s residency in Paris, numerous awards and bursaries and been exhibited as far a field as Cologne, Den Haag, Austria and Melbourne. Whiten initially gained notice for her warped large-scale portrait paintings and highly detailed photorealistic drawings, but her work has diversified in recent years to include performance, publishing and photography. Her solo exhibition ‘Trophy’ at StolenSpace in August 2007 showcased her first ever sculptures and a short film collaboration with Highway Diner (Edinburgh performance group).
