Ronald Forbes is Leverhulme Artist-in-Residence at the Scottish Crop Research Institute, near Dundee, Scotland. He has been in dialogue with Scientists working at SCRI for nearly two years and is currently producing a new body of work that aims to celebrate the work of the scientist.
This work will be in the form of ten large paintings, a series of unique digital prints and a film entitled, ”By Any Other Name.”
The first exhibition will be in the HMC Gallery at the University of Abertay, Dundee, and thereafter at venues that are exploring the interface of art and science.

Ronald Forbes has been engaged in film-making since 1970, originally in 16mm and now DV. He is digitally re-mastering all the earlier films. This month’s sample is a more recent work.
