Daphne Wright’s work manoeuvres things into well-wrought but delicate doubt. Shifting between tautness and mess, it sets imagery, materials and language in constant metaphorical motion.

Angela Heisch’s paintings are composed of repeated motifs, curving forms, and delicate dark lines that draw inspiration from organic bodies, patterns in nature, and architecture. The artist’s abstract language seeks to capture the sensation of her observations, and her enigmatic forms encounter one another on the canvas, creating tension or waves of energy though interlocking […]
