Thomas Hancock’s exhibition Mass in Flux is a new series of oil paintings that lean into process-based methods to explore abstraction. He began these works by sculpting, photographing and digitally manipulating forms that became ‘models’, then employing his skills in still-life painting to depict solitary objects in fictional spaces. ‘I employ chance and happenstance in… View more
In Janna van Hasselt’s exhibition Flop on Pop, her porcelain structures ooze with tactile exuberance. New woven and flowing ceramic paintings glow from walls while more sculptural glazed forms slump on floating discs of colour. “I find inspiration in the everyday; the minutiae of life as a parent. Precarious stacks of laundry, collapsing play huts,… View more

Using domestic or ornamental objects as a starting point, she has made a visual journal of things she has been intuitively, inextricably drawn to. For her, the meaning of each chosen object is less important… View more
Barbara Boekelman’s large-scale paintings brim with vitality and intricacy. Reworking is central to her method. Using representative imagery as a starting point, she draws, obscures, wipes away, redraws and paints over, gradually surrendering to a predominantly abstract fusion of colour and form. In an intuitive exercise of concealing and revealing, the foreground and background continuously… View more

Photography was invented during the nineteenth century when the wonders of science challenged the status quo and inventions came thick and fast.
