Beyond the Gaze – Reclaiming the Landscape, demonstrates the increasing interest in landscape painting within contemporary art. Historically, the genre was predominantly the domain of male painters.

Bringing together Cooke’s lyrical garden paintings and expressive portraiture, […]

Emma Papworth and Kirill Chelushkin 's works, Concrete Whispers, Brutal Dreams, present a multi-dimensional material and mental landscape of a deterministic vision of civilization and its recurring discontents. From the ruins of the unrealized futures, which promise static ‘stability’ and unchanging ‘normality,’ the exhibition presents itself as an entombed garden of visionary desires.
