Artists: Michael Crowther - Tricia Gillman - Sharon Hall - Vik Winter

Crowther’s book-sized panels are imbued with thinking about painting, writing, history and landscape, each its own work of visual poetry - we continue from his brilliant solo-installation of last year: Bollihope and Others which loudly declared an integrated vision at home in an enigmatic and painterly strangeness.

Here is Gillman’s ‘Rubicon’ series, a shift in her practice of the last 10 years in their return to the use of paint, partly due to re-encountering her own large-scale 1980’s canvases with their free-flowing painterly aliveness that stood out at the time and led to our first collaborations. We see a re-engagement with the pleasures and complexities of the medium: exploring new and on-going concerns.

Hall includes key works from her prominent solo ‘Meeting Points’ here in 2024 and adds a group of small canvases  -  these resonate together and underline her highly tuned and practised ability to combine a balance of colour, tone and light with innovations in spatial shift, mostly happening without our noticing.

Winter only recently embarked on this group of paintings so we are fortunate to coincide for this. Earlier formal ’desk-bound’ paper studies have given way to a broader vocabulary of familiar landscapes and everyday signifiers that remain subject to her unerring rightness and enact her ‘attempt at resetting to what might have been if life had a more peaceful path’.
