In November 2021, artist Jonathan Freemantle undertook his most arduous challenge to date. He carried three stone sculptures, their plinths, three paintings and a mobile studio, on his back up to the remote ‘Bone Caves’ in the far north of Scotland. He set up a studio and completed the paintings in the cave, camping overnight.He was accompanied by a small film crew and his two sons.

The first iteration of the exhibition took place in the cave, on Friday 12th November 2021 the morning after his ascent. This exhibition presents the completed artworks, accompained by the film documenting his experience. An exhibition presented by Rafiki Gallery in the Ltd Ink Corporation Edinburgh Space. 

Neu Reekie and Ltd Ink Corporation collaborate on a second event showcasing new work by Kaite Goh, Arusa Qureshi, Casci Ritchie and Sarah Muirhead. 

Neu Reekie, take over Ltd Ink Corporation with an evening poetry, music, film and literature. Hosted by Kevin Williamson and Michael Pederston, along with Davie Miller and Kat Gallock. Special guests, Ellen Renton, The Honey Farm, Julia Sorensen and Kevin Harman.

Celebrating ten years of Neu Reekie! A gallus evening looking aa decade of peotry, art, music, spoken word, gigs and literature. Highlighting some of the best works and collaborations from their archives. 

We are excited to announce our first solo exhibition of the year, ‘Space is a Feeling’ featuring all new works by artist Thomas Whittle. Whittle’s work attempts to navigate the duality of definition, ambiguity of usefulness and diluted purpose of the quiet and unassuming two-dimensional image. The work investigates time within production as well as time suggested by materials and methods.

"These new paintings are filled with oval shapes, circular rhythm. Sighting resembles the epic exploding of Boulder Reign the house and the contents at the end of Zabriskie Point. Whispering is even better! Intoxicating, vaporous, smoking. Cooling is a delicious confection - Thiebaud added to Hodgkin. Resting is more sombre. Is that a mattress? It is called Resting or an over-turned headstone? At rest. A garland with two skulls?
Stacking is loaded up with ovals – balloons or traffic lights? Stacking feels like things are getting ready to speed up again... Streaming is a torrent of blue oil paint resembling water everything feels active. Rapid, teeming.
Wafting is the artist on fire. Playing with Fire.

Playing with the indiscipline of painting while appreciating the discipline of painting between careful and carefree tradition and experimentation virtuosity and playfulness.”

Curator Graham Domke, 2021.

We are delighted to announce our latest exhibition ‘Online Shopping’ by artist Jessica Harrison.

Ltd Ink Corporation presents DEETH by Richie Moment. The exhibition features all new sculptures, etchings and digital video by Richie Moment.

“Death is like love. When you are in love, every song that comes on the radio seems to speak directly to you. Screaming about falling in love, losing love and falling back into it against all the odds...

In a world drowning in the noise of content, it feels like the right time to turn the volume back up on death.
Making it present again so we can remember, ignorance isn’t always bliss.”

DUMB POET is the latest exhibition in our 2019 calendar by Jack Brindley. Jack will be presenting an installation of new work, comprised of large scale paintings, wall relief photographic works and pseudo-furniture sculptures.  Brindleys’ current practice explores the dissolution of the rational mind and our often problematic relationship to the void: Pure white Paintings that push our perceptions, sculptures as pavilions, provisional spaces that try and hold onto an immaterial future, temporary sites of autonomy, mirrors and text artwork emerging from mist, like visions through a post-industrialist haze.

Nice To Meet You / Haven’t We Met Before? is a 2-part group exhibition that is planned to take place on two separate occasions, at two different exhibition spaces, over two separate periods of time. Taking place between Ltd Ink Corporation, Edinburgh, and A-M-G5, Glasgow, the exhibitions aim to open up a dialogue surrounding the effects that alternative environmental conditions have on the reading of an artwork, and how alternative installations can equally compliment, influence and transform a collective grouping of works.

The 2-part exhibition aims to open a collective dialogue and simultaneously unify the communities of Edinburgh and Glasgow by inviting viewers to attend both installments of the exhibition. Hopeful that attendees will take the time to visit both iterations, we aim to invigorate an audience who will continue visiting and experiencing exhibitions in both cities and venues

6th May 2019


We are looking forward to our latest exhibition ‘The Right Impression’ by Hannah Ustun. Defined by certain gestures, repetitive stains and recurring imprints, Hannah Ustun's paintings form a network of surfaces that communicate her focus on painting itself as the subject. Nominally abstract and guided by a series of intuitive decisions, the internal logic of each work unfolds gradually.

23rd January 2019

Ltd Ink Corporation presents The Pentland Experiment by Norman Harman.  The Pentland Experiment explores the discordant interference between paint and digital process.  This ongoing work creates an alternative reality that sits on the outskirts of Edinburgh.  Converging the digital and tactile, Harman depicts a dystopian future.  Faces and structures are deliberately blurred from the viewer in these highly staged compositions which utilise Harman’s vast collection of photography, found imagery and TV stills.  Within the corruption of the digital image, there is a breaking up of the information, which leaves the viewer to interpret the space between abstraction and figuration.

6th November  2018

Ltd Ink Corporation presents Hope-less by Kevin Harman.  The installation consists of gold crosses bought from pawnbrokers, gold thread taken from ministers gowns, delicate copper structures, solid oak beams, bolts and heavy gauge angle bar.  This ongoing work shows the quandary some individuals face when faith and reality overlap.

Ltd Ink Corporation is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new work by Liam Allan.  Arrangements comprise of six drawings focusing on aspiration and precarity.  The exhibition originated with research into a found image documenting an amateur artists’ workshop.  A group of students were asked to create towers of clay tiles that stood without any additional support — a methodology examining talent and resilience.

Ltd Ink Corporation is proud to announce the opening of Signs of Life, a contemporary installation by artist Kevin Harman.  The work consists of more than 300 handmade signs and a bespoke four-poster bed.  Harman’s installation investigates the creative resource found within the vulnerable adults in our communities.  It also highlights one person’s desire for shelter and time spent without it. The artwork which was previously shown at Harman’s Leith Docks exhibition, now encapsulates our space at the Old Ambulance Depot, off Brunswick Street.
