In this group of artists, intimacy, memory and abstraction intersect in various methods, however all share a level of sensitivity to the short lived: the neglected image, the half-remembered place, the unstable border in between what we see and what we feel. Together, they form a peaceful however insistent meditation on how meaning builds up in normal life.

Taken together, rendered in her distinct painterly design, these retellings of easily-forgotten minutes show how a regular life, when examined from a particular perspective, begins to radiate a palpable sense of significance.Rosemary Burn Bowl of cherries, 2025 Mona Sultan's photocollages explain the fragmentary nature of memory and significance, calling photographic reality into question by breaking down, recontextualising and duplicating images. Stabilizing methodical precision with a noticeably human, always imperfect visual sensibility, his paintings are easy going abstractions for the digital age.Luke Rudolf Fizzog 4, 2025 Jo Berry's airbrushed paintings give physical forms to images that we usually see by means of a screen andrapidly forget, such as stock photos and ReCAPTCHAs. To me, her unique language hazy, distorted, discreetly upsetting shows the alienation and dissociation inherent in a world filled with images that appears to appear and disappear ever-more rapidly. A shadow, a handstand, a sheer curtain draped over a houseplant: by photographing such things, he provides a second life in which they end up being irreversible. Emile Kees Handstand, 2023 Jo Hummel's minimalist abstractions have a certain ahistorical quality; they connect numerous histories of material experimentation and production from all over the world within a special visual language. They position the audience within landscapes that feel limitless with a low mist hanging over the horizon. Though unfamiliar, these images are deeply serene, inviting you to enjoy the easy 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 hidden by an ochre-yellow drape appear intentionally mysterious. They make me think about the simultaneous absurdity and beauty of the world in front of me, considering familiar scenes through an unknown lens. Bianca MacCall Perpetual Movement, 2023 Henry Ward's painting practice is ever-shifting. In truth, if you stand in front of among his paintings for long enough, you might see it change in real time. The uncertain, unpredictable nature of his work is what makes me keep returning to it.Henry Ward Bethany III, 2023.
