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. 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.

Proximity, is a two-person exhibition that brings together the work of Annie Trevorah and Liberty Quinn to explore the transformative effects of closeness, both physical and metaphorical.

Ana Barriga’s paintings are considered to be “pretty and raffish,” containing “bits of reality that no longer mean anything,” such as plastic figurines, tchotchkes, porcelain doo-dads and bits of bric-a-brac.  Items she encounters on regular visits to flea markets, souks, bazaars, rastros and marchés au puces. These she “sources,” “breaks,” “paints,” “manipulates” and otherwise “transforms” […]
