Makiko Nakamura
Lover 18 Oct - 2 Nov 2024 Makiko Nakamura's paintings relate to the rhythms and patterns of our lives, the fleeting nature of experience, the workings of memory and our most intense feelings. Yet the elements of her artistic language suggest the coolness of minimalist abstraction. Her is structured on the circle, the square and the grid.... Read more -
James O'Connor
Transit 20 Sep - 12 Oct 2024 The exhibition showcases works selected from 2017 to 2024. It's been a long journey with these paintings, from big to small, trying to evoke notions of space, both close and far. The link between space, colour, and form is essential in my work. My ongoing interest in fragmentation is at... Read more -

Tempus fugit et vita brevis 3 - 25 Nov 2023 The inspiration for the current show comes from my childhood.

Charles Tyrrell
new paintings 19 May - 9 Jun 2023 Grid thinking. I started out working with Indian ink on card and then acrylic on Yupo paper where I extruded the paint using icing tools. A breakthrough came when I started building grids in an unstructured way: placing squares and rectilinear shapes randomly on a field, either floating singly or... Read more -
Pat Harris
Maybe 18 Nov - 24 Dec 2022 Maybe, the title of this exhibition refers to the artist's state of longing and uncertainty during the various Covid lockdowns. A longing to visit places, and loved ones, that through Covid restrictions became increasingly distant, almost vague memories or fragments of his imagination. But then Harris claims that artists often... Read more -
