Leanne Ross’ new exhibition, Dirty Dancing Flowers, is a joyful celebration of community and collaboration. The artist, who is developmentally disabled and assisted by other creatives, combines bold, graffiti-ish text-and-image pieces with paintings of coloured flowers arranged at lively angles, overrunning their frames. There’s also an installation area evoking Ross’ making environment, featuring painted and glitter-covered plates, and plastic biscuits and flowers scattered across wooden benches.

Ross is known for her ongoing Shout Out series, in which phrases recorded into her journals are written against backgrounds of multi-coloured rectangles, reminiscent of oversized Post-it notes. Her new works in that style are especially pleasing, partly celebrations of everyday activities that bring sensory pleasure (‘Smells Nice’, reads one). But they also play on our expectations of binary pairings (‘Colour In’ and ‘Eat Out’ appear next to one another, each carrying with it the ghost of its more exact opposite) and of match-ups between text and image. The title words ‘Purple’, ‘Pink’, and ‘Orange’, for example, appear on differently coloured backing squares.

There’s a fascinating ritual, score-like element to these pieces, whose constituent phrases are intended to be shouted out three times, inviting the viewer to have an embodied, vocal response to the work’s visual stimulus. That same idea carries across into the flower-shaped karaoke stage at the centre of the room, where visitors can holler along to songs playing over the sound system (the Dirty Dancing soundtrack is key). A recommended pick-me up at a time of spectacular geopolitical misery.

Dirty Dancing Flowers, Tramway, Glasgow, until Sunday 23 March.
