In this group of artists, intimacy, memory and abstraction intersect in different ways, but all share a level of sensitivity to the fleeting: the overlooked image, the half-remembered place, the unsteady limit in between what we see and what we feel. Together, they form a quiet but insistent meditation on how suggesting builds up in regular life.

Why Traditional Studio Experiences Are Being Reimagined

Taken together, rendered in her unique painterly style, these retellings of easily-forgotten moments show how a common life, when analyzed from a particular 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 reality into question by breaking down, recontextualising and duplicating images. Balancing systematic accuracy with a distinctly 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 types to images that we typically see via a screen andrapidly forget, such as stock photographs and ReCAPTCHAs. To me, her distinct language hazy, distorted, discreetly upsetting shows the alienation and dissociation inherent in a world saturated with images that appears 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 second life in which they end up being long-term. Emile Kees Handstand, 2023 Jo Hummel's minimalist abstractions have a specific ahistorical quality; they connect several histories of product experimentation and development from around the world within a distinct visual language. They situate the audience within landscapes that feel limitless with a low mist hanging over the horizon. Though unknown, these images are deeply tranquil, welcoming you to delight in the simple pleasures 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 curtain seem deliberately mystical. They make me think 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 may see it alter in real time. The unclear, unforeseeable nature of his work is what makes me keep returning to it.Henry Ward Bethany III, 2023.
