In this group of artists, intimacy, memory and abstraction converge in different methods, but all share a level of sensitivity to the short lived: the ignored image, the half-remembered place, the unstable border between what we see and what we feel. Together, they form a peaceful however insistent meditation on how indicating accumulates in common life.
Taken together, rendered in her distinct painterly style, these retellings of easily-forgotten minutes show how a regular life, when taken a look at from a particular 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 meaning, calling photographic fact into question by breaking down, recontextualising and repeating images. Stabilizing methodical accuracy with a definitely human, always imperfect visual perceptiveness, his paintings are lighthearted abstractions for the digital age.Luke Rudolf Fizzog 4, 2025 Jo Berry's airbrushed paintings give physical forms to images that we normally see by means of a screen andrapidly forget, such as stock photographs and ReCAPTCHAs. To me, her unique language hazy, distorted, discreetly disturbing shows the alienation and dissociation intrinsic in a world saturated with images that seems to appear and vanish ever-more quickly. A shadow, a handstand, a sheer curtain draped over a houseplant: by photographing such things, he provides a 2nd life in which they end up being irreversible. Emile Kees Handstand, 2023 Jo Hummel's minimalist abstractions have a particular ahistorical quality; they connect several histories of material experimentation and production from worldwide within a distinct visual language. They locate the viewer within landscapes that feel unlimited with a low mist hanging over the horizon. Unfamiliar, these images are deeply serene, welcoming you to revel in the basic satisfaction of a perpetually twilit, pastoral world.Llus-Carles Peric Cap a La Calma, 2014 The scenes that Bianca MacCall paints a train window showing the carriage's interior over the passing landscape; a barely-visible car concealed by an ochre-yellow curtain seem intentionally mysterious. They make me think about the synchronised absurdity and appeal of the world in front of me, considering familiar scenes through an unfamiliar lens. Bianca MacCall Perpetual Movement, 2023 Henry Ward's painting practice is ever-shifting. If you stand in front of one of his paintings for long enough, you may see it change in genuine time. The unsettled, unforeseeable nature of his work is what makes me keep returning to it.Henry Ward Bethany III, 2023.
