Curating a Private Luxury Gallery of Family Portraits

In this group of artists, intimacy, memory and abstraction intersect in different methods, but all share a sensitivity to the short lived: the neglected image, the half-remembered place, the unstable boundary in between what we see and what we feel. Together, they form a quiet however insistent meditation on how implying collects in regular life.

Taken together, rendered in her distinctive painterly design, these retellings of easily-forgotten minutes show how a common 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 reality into concern by breaking down, recontextualising and repeating images. Stabilizing organized accuracy with a noticeably human, necessarily imperfect visual perceptiveness, his paintings are lighthearted abstractions for the digital age.Luke Rudolf Fizzog 4, 2025 Jo Berry's airbrushed paintings give physical kinds to images that we normally see by means of a screen andrapidly forget, such as stock photographs and ReCAPTCHAs.

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 long-term. Emile Kees Handstand, 2023 Jo Hummel's minimalist abstractions have a certain ahistorical quality; they link numerous histories of material experimentation and creation from worldwide within a distinct visual language. They locate the viewer within landscapes that feel unlimited with a low mist hanging over the horizon. Unfamiliar, these images are deeply peaceful, welcoming you to revel in 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 reflecting the carriage's interior over the passing landscape; a barely-visible vehicle concealed by an ochre-yellow curtain appear deliberately strange. They make me think about the simultaneous absurdity and beauty of the world in front of me, considering 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 genuine time. The unclear, unpredictable nature of his work is what makes me keep returning to it.Henry Ward Bethany III, 2023.
