REINHARD BEHRENS
9 Calman's Wynd Working with the archeologists made me aware of the importance of found objects to support scientific theories or force the reconsideration of them. In an inspired moment I had the vision of exploring the uncharted continent of 'Naboland' with the help of the little toy submarine Like the archeologists I would look for proof of its existence through more found objects and other visual references. The continent of the mind has since then found its materialisation in many drawings etchings paintings and atmospheric installations, that I have exhibited in both Scotland and abroad Travels to Nepal, Italy, Spain, Iceland and Norway contributed to the ever increasing 'Body of Evidence' for the existence of Naboland as much as beach combing walks along the local shore in Pittenweem in Fife, my living and working base for the past ten years. 1951 1971 -78 1974 1981 1981 - 84 1985 1989 - 92 1994 1995 - 1998 Solo Exhibitions include 1982 1984 1985 1987 1988 1992 1993 1996 1997 Awards include 1983 1985 1987 1991 Works in the collection of Scottish Arts Council, BBC Scotland, IBM, City Art Centre, Edinburgh, Kelvingrove Art Gallery, Glasgow and in private collections in Britain and abroad.
