Join the team at Project Ability for their next exhibition 'ir/regular featuring work from neurodivergent artist Grant Glennie.
About ir/regular
This exhibition is part of the Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival, 2025.
Grant Glennie is a neurodivergent artist based in Glasgow. He has been part of Project Ability’s ReConnect studio programme since 2010 when he was first referred there by a community psychiatric nurse. He has a BA(Hons) in Interaction Design from Glasgow School of Art and his work is influenced by both subjective and personal things and often involves exploring the connection between the highly ordered and highly disordered. Glennie makes art because it can help give him structure, purpose and improve his mental wellbeing. He enjoys learning through art about everything and anything. Glennie works in a number of mediums but retains a computational, rule based and systems approach.
“I see the exhibition and artworks in ir/regular existing somewhere between the opposites of regular and irregular. It’s a personal exploration of the interconnected themes of my lived experience of mental health, art therapy, medication, side effects, illusions and funding. I have recently been painting, which is a relatively new medium for me, though I’ve retained a rule based and systems approach.” – Grant Glennie
In ir/regular, Glennie delivers a bold visual exploration of geometric tension, optical illusion, and chromatic rhythm. With meticulously structured compositions and a distinct interplay of color and form, this exhibition challenges perceptions of balance, regularity, and spatial harmony. Glennie’s work thrives at the intersection of control and disruption—offering viewers a compelling, sometimes disorienting, optical experience that is at once playful and rigorous.
