Capturing Magic During a Children's Photo Session

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

Taken together, rendered in her distinctive painterly design, these retellings of easily-forgotten minutes demonstrate how a regular life, when taken a look at from a certain point of view, starts 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. Balancing organized accuracy with a clearly human, necessarily imperfect visual perceptiveness, his paintings are lighthearted abstractions for the digital age.Luke Rudolf Fizzog 4, 2025 Jo Berry's airbrushed paintings offer physical forms to images that we usually see through a screen andquickly forget, such as stock photos and ReCAPTCHAs. To me, her distinct language hazy, misshaped, discreetly upsetting shows the alienation and dissociation inherent in a world filled with images that seems to appear and vanish ever-more rapidly. A shadow, a handstand, a large drape draped over a houseplant: by photographing such things, he provides a 2nd life in which they become permanent. Emile Kees Handstand, 2023 Jo Hummel's minimalist abstractions have a specific ahistorical quality; they link several histories of product experimentation and creation from all over the world within an unique visual language. They locate the audience within landscapes that feel endless with a low mist hanging over the horizon. Unknown, these images are deeply serene, welcoming you to revel in the basic satisfaction 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 drape seem intentionally strange. They make me believe about the synchronised absurdity and charm of the world in front of me, considering familiar scenes through an unknown lens. Bianca MacCall Continuous Movement, 2023 Henry Ward's painting practice is ever-shifting. In reality, if you stand in front of one of his paintings for enough time, you might see it change in genuine time. The unclear, unpredictable nature of his work is what makes me keep returning to it.Henry Ward Bethany III, 2023.
