In this group of artists, intimacy, memory and abstraction intersect in various ways, but all share a sensitivity to the fleeting: the ignored image, the half-remembered place, the unsteady limit between what we see and what we feel. Together, they form a peaceful but insistent meditation on how meaning collects in normal life.
Taken together, rendered in her distinct painterly design, these retellings of easily-forgotten minutes demonstrate how a normal life, when taken a look at from a specific point of view, begins to radiate a palpable sense of significance.Rosemary Burn Bowl of cherries, 2025 Mona Sultan's photocollages describe the fragmentary nature of memory and significance, calling photographic truth into concern by breaking down, recontextualising and duplicating images. Stabilizing methodical accuracy with a clearly human, necessarily imperfect visual perceptiveness, his paintings are easy going abstractions for the digital age.Luke Rudolf Fizzog 4, 2025 Jo Berry's airbrushed paintings provide physical forms to images that we generally see through a screen andquickly forget, such as stock pictures and ReCAPTCHAs. To me, her distinctive language hazy, misshaped, subtly unsettling shows the alienation and dissociation inherent in a world filled with imagery that seems to appear and vanish ever-more quickly. A shadow, a handstand, a large drape draped over a houseplant: by photographing such things, he provides a second life in which they end up being permanent. Emile Kees Handstand, 2023 Jo Hummel's minimalist abstractions have a specific ahistorical quality; they link several histories of material experimentation and development from worldwide within a distinct visual language. They locate the viewer within landscapes that feel endless with a low mist hanging over the horizon. Unfamiliar, these images are deeply serene, inviting you to revel in the simple enjoyments of a perpetually twilit, pastoral world.Llus-Carles Peric Cap a La Calma, 2014 The scenes that Bianca MacCall paints a train window reflecting the carriage's interior over the passing landscape; a barely-visible cars and truck concealed by an ochre-yellow drape seem intentionally mysterious. They make me believe about the simultaneous absurdity and charm of the world in front of me, thinking about familiar scenes through an unfamiliar lens. Bianca MacCall Continuous Movement, 2023 Henry Ward's painting practice is ever-shifting. If you stand in front of one of his paintings for long enough, you might see it alter in real time. The unclear, unforeseeable nature of his work is what makes me keep going back to it.Henry Ward Bethany III, 2023.
