In this group of artists, intimacy, memory and abstraction intersect in various methods, but all share a level of sensitivity to the fleeting: the neglected image, the half-remembered location, the unstable boundary in between what we see and what we feel. Together, they form a quiet but insistent meditation on how implying builds up in common life.
Taken together, rendered in her unique painterly design, these retellings of easily-forgotten minutes show how a regular life, when taken a look at from a specific perspective, 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 question by breaking down, recontextualising and repeating images. Stabilizing methodical accuracy with a definitely human, necessarily imperfect visual sensibility, his paintings are easy going abstractions for the digital age.Luke Rudolf Fizzog 4, 2025 Jo Berry's airbrushed paintings offer physical types to images that we generally see by means of a screen andquickly forget, such as stock pictures and ReCAPTCHAs. To me, her distinctive language hazy, distorted, subtly upsetting reflects the alienation and dissociation fundamental in a world filled with images that seems to appear and disappear ever-more quickly. A shadow, a handstand, a sheer curtain draped over a houseplant: by photographing such things, he gives them a 2nd 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 creation from around the world within an unique visual language. They situate the viewer within landscapes that feel endless with a low mist hanging over the horizon. Though unfamiliar, these images are deeply serene, welcoming you to savor the simple satisfaction of a constantly 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 vehicle concealed by an ochre-yellow drape seem intentionally strange. They make me believe about the simultaneous absurdity and appeal of the world in front of me, considering familiar scenes through an unfamiliar lens. Bianca MacCall Continuous Motion, 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 alter in real time. The uncertain, unpredictable nature of his work is what makes me keep going back to it.Henry Ward Bethany III, 2023.
