Curating a Private Luxury Gallery of Family Portraits

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

Taken together, rendered in her unique painterly design, these retellings of easily-forgotten moments demonstrate how a regular life, when examined from a particular point of view, begins 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 truth into concern by breaking down, recontextualising and repeating images. Stabilizing methodical accuracy with a distinctly human, always imperfect visual perceptiveness, 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 generally see via a screen andquickly forget, such as stock photos and ReCAPTCHAs. To me, her distinctive language hazy, distorted, discreetly unsettling reflects the alienation and dissociation fundamental in a world saturated with imagery that appears to appear and vanish ever-more quickly. A shadow, a handstand, a large drape draped over a houseplant: by photographing such things, he provides a second 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 material experimentation and creation from around the world within a special visual language. They position the viewer within landscapes that feel endless with a low mist hanging over the horizon. Though unknown, these images are deeply peaceful, inviting you to delight in the simple satisfaction of a constantly 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 car hidden by an ochre-yellow drape appear deliberately mystical. They make me think about the synchronised absurdity and beauty of the world in front of me, thinking about familiar scenes through an unfamiliar 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 may see it change in real time. The unsettled, unpredictable nature of his work is what makes me keep going back to it.Henry Ward Bethany III, 2023.
