  • Made in Stirling 44 King Street Stirling, Scotland, FK8 1AY United Kingdom (map)

Opening night: Friday 5th of June, 6-9pm

Exhibition is open from the 6th of June, until the 26th of July 2026, 10-5pm in Gallery 2.

Teenage Flicks is a solo exhibition of illustrated works by Scottish based Artist Jon Bishop, also known as The Grey Earl. With a long term love of film and cinema, this collection of works explores the movies which inspired this interest, from teenage discoveries of cult horror classics to an appreciation of storytelling through contemporary comedy drama. Featuring chest bursting aliens, dysfunctional families and ten pin ball wielding slackers, his varied exploration of film and genre are celebrated through these illustrated works.

Featuring original drawings, digital prints and 3D pieces, along with a programme of film screenings and talks, Teenage Flicks invites you to dive back into the movies that made us and explore the films that made the cut and inspired the artist.

Jon Bishop has exhibited his work in a range of venues, including The National Museum and has worked with clients from the BBC, Glasgow Museums, Stirling University, Perth Art Gallery and Wildhood Festival.

He works from his studio in the village of Comrie.

You’re also invited along to our special launch evening on Friday 5th June from 6-9pm for a glass of fizz, snacks, and a chance to meet the artist.
