Capturing Wonder During a Youth Portrait Experience

In this group of artists, intimacy, memory and abstraction intersect in different ways, however all share a sensitivity to the fleeting: the overlooked image, the half-remembered location, the unstable border between what we see and what we feel. Together, they form a quiet but insistent meditation on how indicating collects in common life.

Taken together, rendered in her distinct painterly style, these retellings of easily-forgotten minutes show how a regular life, when analyzed 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 meaning, calling photographic reality into question by breaking down, recontextualising and repeating images.

To me, her distinct language hazy, misshaped, subtly unsettling shows the alienation and dissociation inherent in a world saturated with imagery that appears to appear and disappear ever-more rapidly. A shadow, a handstand, a sheer drape draped over a houseplant: by photographing such things, he provides them a 2nd life in which they become long-term. Emile Kees Handstand, 2023 Jo Hummel's minimalist abstractions have a certain ahistorical quality; they connect multiple histories of product experimentation and production from all over the world within a special visual language. They position the audience within landscapes that feel limitless with a low mist hanging over the horizon. Though unfamiliar, these images are deeply tranquil, inviting you to delight in the simple pleasures 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 cars and truck hidden by an ochre-yellow curtain appear intentionally strange. They make me think about the simultaneous absurdity and appeal of the world in front of me, considering familiar scenes through an unfamiliar 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 may see it alter in genuine time. The uncertain, unforeseeable nature of his work is what makes me keep going back to it.Henry Ward Bethany III, 2023.
