In this group of artists, intimacy, memory and abstraction converge in different methods, but all share a sensitivity to the fleeting: the overlooked image, the half-remembered place, the unsteady boundary between what we see and what we feel. Together, they form a peaceful however insistent meditation on how meaning collects in common life.

Comparing Museum Prints to Digital Photos

Taken together, rendered in her distinct painterly design, these retellings of easily-forgotten moments show how a regular life, when analyzed from a particular viewpoint, starts 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. Balancing organized precision 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 generally see through a screen andquickly forget, such as stock photos and ReCAPTCHAs. To me, her distinct language hazy, misshaped, subtly disturbing shows the alienation and dissociation fundamental in a world filled with images that appears to appear and disappear ever-more rapidly. A shadow, a handstand, a sheer drape draped over a houseplant: by photographing such things, he gives them a 2nd life in which they become permanent. Emile Kees Handstand, 2023 Jo Hummel's minimalist abstractions have a specific ahistorical quality; they link numerous histories of product experimentation and creation from all over the world within an unique visual language. They situate the viewer within landscapes that feel limitless with a low mist hanging over the horizon. Unfamiliar, these images are deeply tranquil, welcoming you to revel in the basic pleasures 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 automobile concealed by an ochre-yellow curtain appear deliberately mystical. They make me think about the synchronised absurdity and appeal 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. If you stand in front of one of his paintings for long enough, you might see it alter in genuine time. The uncertain, unpredictable nature of his work is what makes me keep going back to it.Henry Ward Bethany III, 2023.
