in 2000, watt became the youngest artist to be offered a solo exhibition at the scottish national gallery of modern art with shift, an exhibition of 12 paintings featuring fabric alone; inspired by the work of french neo-classical artist jean-auguste-dominique ingres, the paintings are large, close-up studies of white draperies:{images: colline via [design] relevant and national galleries of scotland}
