Turning Simple Photos Into Timeless Art Creations

In this group of artists, intimacy, memory and abstraction intersect in different ways, but all share a sensitivity to the fleeting: the neglected image, the half-remembered place, the unstable border between what we see and what we feel. Together, they form a quiet but insistent meditation on how suggesting builds up in ordinary life.

Taken together, rendered in her unique painterly design, these retellings of easily-forgotten minutes demonstrate how an ordinary life, when examined from a specific point of view, starts to radiate a palpable sense of significance.Rosemary Burn Bowl of cherries, 2025 Mona Sultan's photocollages describe the fragmentary nature of memory and significance, calling photographic reality into question by breaking down, recontextualising and repeating images. Balancing organized precision with a noticeably human, always imperfect visual sensibility, his paintings are lighthearted abstractions for the digital age.Luke Rudolf Fizzog 4, 2025 Jo Berry's airbrushed paintings give physical forms to images that we normally see through a screen andquickly forget, such as stock pictures and ReCAPTCHAs. To me, her distinctive language hazy, misshaped, discreetly unsettling reflects the alienation and dissociation intrinsic in a world saturated with imagery that appears to appear and disappear ever-more quickly. A shadow, a handstand, a large curtain draped over a houseplant: by photographing such things, he gives them a second life in which they become long-term. Emile Kees Handstand, 2023 Jo Hummel's minimalist abstractions have a particular ahistorical quality; they link numerous histories of product experimentation and production from around the world within an unique visual language. They position the viewer within landscapes that feel limitless with a low mist hanging over the horizon. Though unfamiliar, these images are deeply serene, welcoming you to revel in the easy pleasures of a perpetually twilit, pastoral world.Llus-Carles Peric Cap a La Calma, 2014 The scenes that Bianca MacCall paints a train window showing the carriage's interior over the passing landscape; a barely-visible car hidden by an ochre-yellow curtain seem intentionally mysterious. They make me think about the synchronised absurdity and appeal of the world in front of me, considering familiar scenes through an unknown lens. Bianca MacCall Perpetual Motion, 2023 Henry Ward's painting practice is ever-shifting. In reality, if you stand in front of among his paintings for enough time, you might see it alter in real time. The unclear, unpredictable nature of his work is what makes me keep returning to it.Henry Ward Bethany III, 2023.
