About Andrew Glidden
Andrew Glidden studied at Edinburgh College of Art in the early 1980s. In August 2017 he started his first ‘52 in 52’ series of weekly fifteen-minute sketches over the course of a year, completing number 52 in August 2018. Andrew donated all the profits from the exhibition to Alzheimer’s Research UK (ARUK), a sum of over £7,000.
Andrew undertook his second series of ‘52 in 52’ throughout the full calendar year of 2021, commencing on January 1st and completing on December 26th, exhibiting all 52 weekly fifteen-minute sketches in The Dundas Street Gallery in 2022. Although Andrew was at pains to highlight that he did not intend to donate the profits to ARUK on this occasion, he did in fact auction one of the original paintings during the exhibition and donated the proceeds once again to ARUK.
On January 1st 2023, Andrew started his third series, entitled ‘52 in 52, further sketches of Edinburgh and beyond...’ completing on December 31st 2023, the results of which you can see in his latest exhibition in The Dundas Street Gallery, Edinburgh.
