Announcement!!

OPEN RETURN, curated by @christinaniederberger @emmalilly__ @hellolucyjagger will be at @terrace_gallery 29 October to 15 November

PV Thursday 29 October 6-8.30pm.
All welcome!

OPEN RETURN brings together 16 artists whose work connects with ideas of repetition.

Just as we can never return to exactly the same place and natural repetition leads to evolution, so repetition inevitably produces difference or change. Repeated forms or actions generate innovation, upend predictability and reshape meaning.

The paintings collected here use various kinds of repetition – playful formal exploration, attitude of obsessive return, a means of operating in the space of not-knowing, a response to digital reiteration – to create and destabilise pictorial logic, to play with ideas of space and time, echo and return, the space between geometry and gesture, constraint and expression, and object and image. This show sees iterative making as resisting predictability rather than reinforcing it, making it a dynamic and generative force in contemporary painting.

‘The Gloaming Plane’ continues in Krefeld Germany. Many thanks curator @joshuauvieghara for including me in this cool show! See below for excellent lineup of artists.

The Gloaming Plane brings together artists exploring the shifting space between painting and drawing — a zone where images remain in motion and resist fixed definition. “Gloaming,” with its evocation of dusk and perceptual in-betweenness, offers a metaphor for this transitional field.

Each artist presents one painting and one drawing, connected not as study and outcome but through an indirect or intuitive relation that opens another register of meaning. Curated by Joshua Uvieghara through Pigment Cascade, an artist-led platform for practice-based enquiry, the exhibition foregrounds material thinking and interpretive openness. The pairing acts as a catalyst, allowing the image to circulate, resist closure, and remain in a state of becoming.
