Comparing Gallery-Wrapped Canvas to Framed Wall Art

In this group of artists, intimacy, memory and abstraction intersect in different methods, however all share a sensitivity to the short lived: the ignored image, the half-remembered location, the unsteady limit in between what we see and what we feel. Together, they form a quiet but insistent meditation on how meaning collects in common life.

Taken together, rendered in her unique painterly design, these retellings of easily-forgotten minutes show how a normal life, when analyzed from a certain viewpoint, starts 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 fact into question by breaking down, recontextualising and repeating images. Balancing methodical accuracy with a clearly human, always imperfect visual sensibility, his paintings are easy going abstractions for the digital age.Luke Rudolf Fizzog 4, 2025 Jo Berry's airbrushed paintings provide physical kinds to images that we normally see through a screen andquickly forget, such as stock pictures and ReCAPTCHAs. To me, her distinctive language hazy, misshaped, subtly upsetting shows the alienation and dissociation fundamental in a world saturated with images 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 a 2nd life in which they end up being permanent. Emile Kees Handstand, 2023 Jo Hummel's minimalist abstractions have a certain ahistorical quality; they link multiple histories of material experimentation and development from around the globe within an unique visual language. They situate the audience within landscapes that feel limitless with a low mist hanging over the horizon. Though unknown, these images are deeply tranquil, inviting you to savor the easy pleasures of a constantly 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 drape seem deliberately mysterious. They make me think about the simultaneous absurdity and charm of the world in front of me, thinking about familiar scenes through an unfamiliar lens. Bianca MacCall Continuous Movement, 2023 Henry Ward's painting practice is ever-shifting. If you stand in front of one of his paintings for long enough, you may see it alter in genuine time. The uncertain, unpredictable nature of his work is what makes me keep returning to it.Henry Ward Bethany III, 2023.
