This exhibition focusses on the magnificent garden paintings of Jean Esme Oregon Cooke RA (1927-2008). Cooke was not a conventional gardener, once listing “ungardening” as her hobby in Who’s Who.  However, she was very reliant upon her gardens for the emotional support and creative inspiration they provided. 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.

These she “sources,” “breaks,” “paints,” “manipulates” and otherwise “transforms” […]
