The paintings explore a nostalgia that comes from growing up while holding onto a love for pop culture from a time past.
This exhibition has been organised by Project Ability in collaboration with Glasgow International.
Iconic imagery from the 70s and 80s, including, Wimpy Burgers, My Little Pony and Star Wars are referenced, with the colours of branding and packaging used to invoke memories of McKinstry’s youth. Jonathan’s favourite childhood board games are featured too, like Operation, Buckaroo and Hungry Hippos. Action figures, one of Jonathan’s lasting loves, also play a part in the exhibition.
McKinstry attends Project Ability’s Aspire programme for people with learning disabilities, where his practice has expanded thanks to the creative and supportive environment and his love for popular media makes people smile.
Friday 7 June – Sunday 23 July: Open Monday to Sunday, 11am to 5pm (Glasgow International festival hours)
Monday 24 June – Saturday 20 July: Open Wednesday to Saturday, 11am to 5pm (usual Project Ability hours)
