Join us tomorrow night, October 15th, in Hackney for the opening night of our group presentation with @fidji.lapios @kaja_stumpf @katarinalalic_ @dean_khalil @elisevbrand for Frieze week. Buzz Unit 32 at 230 Dalston Lane, E8 1LP and come upstairs for drinks with the artists. PV: 6:30 - 9pm Open by appointment Friday 16th - Sunday 18th. Email contact@temporarymatter.com for a collector preview Elise van den Brand (b. 1992, Australia) lives and works in London. 

Working in oils, Elise’s works invite us to view the world through the her eyes - where you’re asked to spend time with fragments of a scene from her memory. These ambiguous details are used to explore perception; how we manipulate the way people perceive us and the tension that can bring. 
 Scale is a key device in Elise’s work. Her paintings are often in miniature scale, demanding either full attention from the viewer or none at all. Occasionally however, a large piece will disrupt that space as a deliberate attempt to reclaim the sense of control given to the viewer over who, or what moment, they’re being asked to give their attention to. Kaja Stumpf (b. 1987, Norway) lives and works in London. 
Her recent work examines memory, self-representation, and the mind-body connection. Through painting, she explores selective memory and cognitive bias as mechanisms of self-preservation, visualising the rumination of possible scenarios emerging between the past and the present. Utilising staged images and the photographic family archive, she crops the scene and alters the colours to create a sense of delayed familiarity. The paintings serve as a visual investigation into biased recollection. They navigate the fear of the unknown, the impact of outdated beliefs, and the self-destructive behaviours that hinder personal growth. Fragmented compositions remove context and reflect the tendency to fixate on certain aspects of life while overlooking others. By presenting the body as a vessel of lived experience, she invites multiple interpretations, questioning the conflicting motives behind thoughts and actions.

Introducing our new artist Fidji Lapios! Fidji Lapios (1990, Poissy, France) is a French figurative painter living and working in London. Having trained and worked as an architect, Fidji Lapios has turned to painting to multiply the possibility of alternative worlds. At first influenced by the New Realism movement, especially in its use of collages and images that transcend the banality of life, Fidji Lapios creates peculiar landscapes, composed of imaginary scenes holding an eerie realism, and that can make one wonder whether these depictions are part of the real world or not. Whilst Fidji Lapios’ paintings are representing real things that commonly exist in our environment, her work seeks to convey a sense of outer world that is timeless, curious and floating in between places. Fidji’s work has been exhibited twice in London. Fidji Lapios Mist, 2024 Oil on canvas 60 x 70cm Sold Check our website or DM for more info!
