Lexia Hachtmann’s artistic journey is a testament to the power of exploration and the transformative nature of art. From her early inclination towards non-traditional forms of art, such as installation, to her unexpected love for painting, Hachtmann is painting and probing painting as a medium itself.
Immerse yourself in the vibrant world of Luna Sue Huang – a narrative of deeply personal tales, feminist ideologies, and cultural tapestries. Her art, a dance of colours and emotions, explores the unseen layers of human relationships and societal norms. From confronting traditional female representation, to challenging herself with new mediums and themes, Luna’s art is a bold testament to her unwavering passion and commitment.
We visited the mesmerising world of Thomas Hart Benton at JC Gallery in Mayfair. Born in 1889, Benton defied expectations to become a key figure in American Regionalism, capturing rural America and its working-class communities. Discover his intricate, El Greco-inspired portrayals alongside studio photography in this captivating exhibition. On view until May 26th
The multifaceted work of artist Daniel Arteaga encompasses a diverse range of artistic disciplines, including painting, printmaking, performance, and street art. His creations capture the essence of places, memories, and dreams, while exploring themes of reflection, belonging, and movement. His interest in philosophy, as well as his personal experiences of migration from Colombia to London, also influence his work.
Tweety Shiwen Wang’s paintings are concerned with the concept of dusk as an ominous, empty space. The work creates an atmosphere of hidden cues that explore the mysterious nature of imagination.
Borrowing from traditions of landscape painting and illustration, Charlotte Evans’ paintings weave together memory and myth to create worlds that are both familiar and strange, comforting and sinister. These worlds are not unlike those conjured in the moments right before sleep, when your mind wanders and drifts and colours become more vivid, sounds sharpen and smells sweeten, all combining in a flash of clarity before dissolving into sleep.
Trained as an architect and multimedia artist, Yuqiao Guo sees her painterly practice as a product of her fascination with self-portraiture and interest in the narrative capacities of the body. Approaching the majority of her work through an autobiographical lens, Guo paints her figures in a way that closely balances surrealism with intimacy, creating striking visual metaphors for the fleeting moments of self-awareness.
Adrian Gardner explores the meaning of life, mortality and adventure through the use of vibrant, colourful landscape paintings. Gardner draws inspiration from artists throughout history such as Titian, Francis Bacon and Damien Hirst who have used painting as a way to express the meaning of life and death.
Ioana Baltan paints large-scale works that revolve around topics such as mental disabilities, poverty, homelessness, dreams and mythology. Working within a figurative landscape, Baltan incorporates abstract and decorative elements to narrate human origin stories and her personal experiences.
Sharon Lacey incorporates her knowledge and training of classical oil painting techniques to create open-ended, mysterious paintings that access deep emotions and environments.
Hidetaka Suzuki paints an array of topics ranging from food, portraits, random objects and scenes that he discovers online. After collecting images on a daily basis and building up an archive, Suzuki intuitively is drawn to objects or scenarios that have an uneasy, human and stimulating quality to them.
Mengmeng Zhang paints moments of fantasy and the ephemerality of everyday life. Memory is a central theme for the artists, incorporating personal narratives into oil paintings that elicit fictitious stories surrounding Zhang’s life.
Jan Valik creates loose, colourful abstractions that evoke powerful feelings and tend to suggest something otherworldly. Valik plays with intuition, experiments with different gestures, shapes, compositions and forms to create spatial ambiguity and a unique visual language. Valik often contemplates scientific topics such as Quantum Theory and Anti-gravity while working, which resonates in the process, leaving a mysterious and suspenseful energy to the pieces.
Shelby Seu paints primarily large-scale portraits that depict the artist, significant people and objects in her life. The subjects of her paintings are immersed in a dreamlike space alongside unique objects that the artist has collected over the years.
CW Landon looks to shared experiences, immersion in our environment and poetry to provide new ways of thinking about human behaviour in today’s society. Landon incorporates geometric abstractions to explore different architectural spaces and absorb the embedded attitudes of our collective trauma, inward energy and human psyche in his work.
John Heywood-Waddington embraces the traditions and tropes of Western art history, cinematic devices such as the split-screen, poetic sensibilities and photographic references in his work. His paintings suggest narratives through their expressive movement and rhythm, yet remain open to the viewer’s interpretation.
Yaya Yajie Liang’s paintings are brightly coloured depictions of imaginative figures, animals, objects and gestures. Liang explores sensations and psychological ideas such as control, power dynamics and dreams. Liang’s abstract paintings are informed by traditional Chinese painting techniques and philosophy that incorporate metaphorical signifiers and investigations of the Rhizome Network Theory.
Brazilian artist Romulo Avi creates intense, colourful, abstract paintings by building up and removing layers of gesso and paint. Avi works with potentiality, an abstract idea which allows him to draw up intuitive structures outside the frameworks of representation. Using unconscious mark making, the surface of Avi’s works is loaded with a vibrational energy charged by opposing colours. His works are a reminder to acknowledge temporary moments and the fleeting nature of life.
Thomas Cameron captures everyday moments of city street scenes and the psychological landscapes of people that inhabit his paintings. He explores the city, guided mainly by his intuition and interest in the urban environment. Cameron captures beauty in the mundane through a process of exploration, photographing, collecting, editing and painting.
