Transforming Simple Photos Into Timeless Art Creations

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

Taken together, rendered in her unique painterly style, these retellings of easily-forgotten minutes demonstrate how a regular life, when examined from a certain viewpoint, 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 repeating images. Balancing methodical accuracy with a definitely 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 normally see via a screen andquickly forget, such as stock photos and ReCAPTCHAs. To me, her distinct language hazy, misshaped, discreetly upsetting shows the alienation and dissociation fundamental in a world saturated with imagery that seems to appear and disappear ever-more rapidly. A shadow, a handstand, a sheer drape draped over a houseplant: by photographing such things, he provides a 2nd life in which they become irreversible. Emile Kees Handstand, 2023 Jo Hummel's minimalist abstractions have a certain ahistorical quality; they connect several histories of material experimentation and creation from all over the world within a distinct visual language. They position the viewer within landscapes that feel unlimited with a low mist hanging over the horizon. Unknown, these images are deeply tranquil, inviting you to revel in the simple satisfaction 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 automobile concealed by an ochre-yellow drape appear deliberately strange. They make me think about the simultaneous absurdity and beauty of the world in front of me, thinking about familiar scenes through an unknown lens. Bianca MacCall Continuous Motion, 2023 Henry Ward's painting practice is ever-shifting. In reality, if you stand in front of among his paintings for long enough, you might see it change in real time. The uncertain, unpredictable nature of his work is what makes me keep going back to it.Henry Ward Bethany III, 2023.
