Chris Rivers
The Mortal in the Material 9 Jul - 9 Aug 2020 Chris Rivers is a painter of sumptuously-coloured, turbulent skyscapes. The expressively- handled paint describes seething clouds, mists and vapours. Cyclones of elemental matter billow through an indeterminate void. On closer inspection however, tiny figures can be seen caught up in the maelstrom. Our perception of the paintings oscillates between the sublime vastness of nature and small-scale incidents of human jeopardy and disaster. This is in an old-master tradition of embedding memento mori, which are not at first apparent. Read more -
Joung Young-Ju
The Living City 8 Jun - 5 Jul 2020 South Korean artist Joung Young-Ju paints unique cityscapes inspired by her native country.

Lee Jungwoong
Brush and Blue Abstraction 12 Dec 2019 - 19 Jan 2020 Lee Jungwoong is a Korean artist of great experience, in demand worldwide and represented in many public and private collections. A master of technique, he brings a blend of cultural sensibilities to his work, in the first case, specifically referencing the western iteration of hyper-realism, and in the second, the ancient eastern art of the brush. His painting seems to mirror a contemporary Korean preoccupation with a kind of cultural accommodation, where a modern society is a synthesis of the past and the present and where cultural differences are reconciled. We might see his paintings as hybrids, examples of such a process. Read more -

Studies, Part II 7 Jun - 7 Jul 2019 Christopher Thompson continues his investigation into the intimate, discrete scenario in this new series of small paintings.

The other is of the body fragmented and distorted by steam and water, glimpsed through a screen clouded by veils of vapour and mist. Her subjects are altered by their environment and exist in an elemental world of shifting perceptions. Read more -
