Creating Wonder During a Youth Portrait Experience

In this group of artists, intimacy, memory and abstraction converge in various ways, however all share a level of sensitivity to the short lived: the overlooked image, the half-remembered location, the unstable limit in between what we see and what we feel. Together, they form a quiet but insistent meditation on how indicating accumulates in regular life.

Taken together, rendered in her distinct painterly design, these retellings of easily-forgotten moments demonstrate how an ordinary life, when examined from a certain 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 significance, calling photographic truth into question by breaking down, recontextualising and duplicating images. Stabilizing organized precision with a clearly human, always imperfect visual perceptiveness, his paintings are lighthearted abstractions for the digital age.Luke Rudolf Fizzog 4, 2025 Jo Berry's airbrushed paintings offer physical kinds to images that we usually see by means of a screen andrapidly forget, such as stock photographs and ReCAPTCHAs. To me, her distinctive language hazy, distorted, subtly upsetting shows the alienation and dissociation fundamental 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 gives them a second life in which they become irreversible. Emile Kees Handstand, 2023 Jo Hummel's minimalist abstractions have a certain ahistorical quality; they link several histories of material experimentation and production from all over the world within an unique visual language. They position the audience within landscapes that feel limitless with a low mist hanging over the horizon. Unknown, these images are deeply tranquil, welcoming you to revel in the basic enjoyments 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 cars and truck hidden by an ochre-yellow curtain seem deliberately mystical. They make me believe 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. In fact, if you stand in front of among his paintings for long enough, you might see it alter in genuine time. The unclear, unforeseeable nature of his work is what makes me keep returning to it.Henry Ward Bethany III, 2023.
