‘A few years ago I met a young filmmaker and animator called Christina Alepi who I really liked and got on with terribly well – straight away. We seemed to speak in the same language about the escence of what I, of what we both thought a film or painting should be. And she did a remarkable little short animation in which she deconstructed an earlier painting, took out the rhythms and marks and elements of language and letter and sign from my painting and layered it up into an animated film… film which is also multi layered and is not just a series of static shots linked together by action, but is in fact action’ Paul Martin

Having been educated in both Scotland and her native Greece, the filmmaker and animator Christina Alepi went on to build an impressive international reputation for her work in the fields of film, video, tv and digital media. Having worked for clients such as the Acropolis Museum, Piraeus Bank, The Thessaloniki Film Festival and ENISA, The European Union Network and Security Agency, Alepi has at the same time pursued her interest in experimental filmmaking. She has twice been nominated for a Scottish BAFTA and her video installations have been shown in galleries in Edinburgh, Sydney and Athens.

WHERE ECHOES REST - PAUL MARTIN

​PRIVATE VIEW: FRIDAY 27 JUNE 6 - 8PM​

EXHIBITION: 27 - 29 JUNE 2025, OPEN: FRI - SUN, 10 - 7PM
GUIDED TOUR: 28 SAT, 2PM WITH ANDREW PATERSON

DALKEITH PALACE, DALKEITH COUNTRY PARK, EDINBURGH, EH22 1ST

​​​​We are pleased to announce a new exhibition 'Where Echoes Rest' which will display for the first time Paul Martin’s final works, alongside a wide selection of earlier pieces, to provide a fascinating portrait of a remarkable artist. 'The greatest audacity', wrote Andre Gide, 'is that at the end of life', and these last works show Martin still audacious, still striving, still seeking, still unyielding in his quest to grasp the ‘thisness of things’ and to see into the nature of nature.

Paul Martin enjoyed a career spanning nearly half a century of painting and printmaking during which he exhibited widely, both at home and abroad. He has work in the collections of The Royal Academy, The British Museum and the BBC. Over the course of his career he garnered many awards including The British Institution prize for Printmaking and The Royal Academy Awards for Painting and Printmaking.

Dalkeith Palace is set in extensive parkland, both natural and landscaped, and ancient woodlands dating back over a thousand years. Full length windows in the gallery spaces overlook this parkland, or perhaps allow the landscape into the gallery itself, making the Palace the perfect setting to display Paul Martin's explorations into the mysteries of the natural world.

- All works available for purchase will be listed on the website in the weeks prior to the exhibition -

We hope to see you there!
