Turning Simple Photos Into Timeless Art Creations

In this group of artists, intimacy, memory and abstraction converge in different ways, but all share a sensitivity to the short lived: the ignored image, the half-remembered location, the unstable border between what we see and what we feel. Together, they form a quiet however insistent meditation on how indicating collects in ordinary life.

Taken together, rendered in her distinctive painterly design, these retellings of easily-forgotten moments show how a regular life, when analyzed from a particular perspective, 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 concern by breaking down, recontextualising and duplicating images. Balancing organized precision with a definitely human, always imperfect visual perceptiveness, his paintings are easy going abstractions for the digital age.Luke Rudolf Fizzog 4, 2025 Jo Berry's airbrushed paintings give physical forms to images that we generally see via a screen andquickly forget, such as stock photos and ReCAPTCHAs. To me, her distinctive language hazy, misshaped, discreetly upsetting shows the alienation and dissociation intrinsic in a world filled with imagery that seems to appear and disappear ever-more rapidly. A shadow, a handstand, a sheer curtain draped over a houseplant: by photographing such things, he offers them a 2nd life in which they become permanent. Emile Kees Handstand, 2023 Jo Hummel's minimalist abstractions have a particular ahistorical quality; they connect multiple histories of product experimentation and production from all over the world within a special visual language. They locate the viewer within landscapes that feel limitless with a low mist hanging over the horizon. Unfamiliar, these images are deeply peaceful, inviting you to revel in the basic 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 vehicle hidden by an ochre-yellow drape seem intentionally strange. They make me think about the simultaneous absurdity and beauty of the world in front of me, thinking about familiar scenes through an unfamiliar lens. Bianca MacCall Perpetual Motion, 2023 Henry Ward's painting practice is ever-shifting. In fact, if you stand in front of among his paintings for enough time, you may see it alter in genuine time. The unsettled, unpredictable nature of his work is what makes me keep going back to it.Henry Ward Bethany III, 2023.
